Farmbuildings To East East Lodge Farm

The farm buildings at East Lodge Farm, built in 1862, are an industrial type complex made of red brick with dark red brick dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The large structure consists of three tall single-storey gabled ranges on the south side, with a taller two-storey barn extending from west to east at the rear. There is another wing at a right angle to the center of the barn. The south front features a board door with a basket-arched head at each end, and a large wagon opening with a basket-arched head in the center. Above this opening is a sundial and a stone tablet inscribed with 'GIS 1862'. Flanking the center are very large openings with basket-arched heads and gates, which served as entrances to covered foldyards. At the north end of the central gabled section, there is a tall tapered square chimney. The back range includes basket-arched doors, windows, and entrances, all with dark red brick quoins and heads. The roofs are hipped throughout. This complex is listed for its historical significance as a particularly unaltered example of industrial type farm buildings.
