Number 2 And 3 And Attached Outhouse

Number 2 and 3, along with the attached outhouse, are two houses located on The Green in Blakesley, dating from around 1800. The main house, No. 3, is constructed of coursed squared ironstone and features a slate roof with stone end stacks. It has a central five-panel door with a fanlight, framed by a stone surround that includes Doric pilasters, a plain frieze, and a deep cornice. The ground floor has 19th-century horned sash windows with flat-arched heads. The building also has a plinth, storey bands, and a moulded cornice with ball finials at both ends, along with stone-coped gables.

To the right of No. 3 is a two-storey attached outhouse that includes a three-bay stable and hayloft facing the yard at the rear, also with a slate roof, chamfered stone eaves, and a stone-coped gable. On the left is No. 2, a two-storey, two-window attached cottage that balances the outhouse. It features a central part-glazed door with a timber lintel and three-light casement windows on both floors. This cottage has a slate roof and brick end and ridge stacks, with chamfered stone eaves and a stone-coped gable, and was likely built as the service cottage for No. 3.

Inside No. 3, there is a staircase hall with an open well staircase leading from the ground floor to the attic, featuring stick balusters and a ramped and wreathed handrail. The interior also boasts fine six-panel doors in moulded doorcases. The property was known as The Lodge before 1914.
