Flatt Lodge And Adjoining Outbuildings

Flatt Lodge and the adjoining outbuildings are a farmhouse and barns dated 1781, featuring the initials J. and L.N. above the entrance, with an early 19th-century extension. The building has painted ashlar walls on a chamfered plinth, raised V-jointed quoins, and a shaped cornice. The roof is made of graduated green slate with coped gables and kneelers, topped with ashlar chimney stacks. The structure is two storeys high with three bays, and there is a two-bay extension to the right under a common roof, along with a lean-to single-bay extension to the left.

The entrance features a four-panel door set in a moulded architrave with a pulvinated frieze and a triangular moulded pediment. Flanking the door are double two-pane sash windows, with additional two-pane sash windows above, all in raised painted stone surrounds. The right extension has a blocked doorway and two-pane sash windows in plain painted stone surrounds, while the left extension has similar window details. The rear of the building includes a large staircase window with a round arch and intersecting glazing bars.

Inside, the property has panelled doors throughout, a 18th-century staircase with carved tread ends and a ramped handrail. The listing also includes the outbuildings at the rear, which are arranged in an L-shape. These outbuildings are two storeys high with numerous bays, featuring whitewashed rubble walls and a roof made of Welsh slate and green slate. There is a projecting cart entrance with sliding plank doors, C20 garage doors to the left, and smaller plank doors to the right with slit vents above. The property was used as a shooting box by Sir James Graham of Netherby in 1849, as noted in the Carlisle Journal on November 16, 1849.
