Description
Lock House Restaurant is a former lock keeper's house that has been converted into a restaurant. It was built in the mid to late 18th century, with a later addition from the 19th century. The building is constructed of red-brown brick in an irregular bond, with yellowish brick used for the addition, and features a pantile roof.
The structure is two storeys high and consists of two bays, with an additional bay added to the left. The central entrance has a 20th-century double door, which is flanked by 20th-century canted bay windows. Above, there are 4-pane sash windows set in flush wood architraves. The eaves are stepped and dentilled, and there are stacks at each end of the building.
The added bay to the left has a board door on the left side, a 4-pane window with a cambered brick arch above it, stepped and dentilled eaves, and an end stack to the left. To the right, there is a lower single-storey bay with a hipped roof that has been added. The right gable of the house shows lower courses of tumbling-in.
Linton Lock was constructed following an Act of Parliament in 1767, and it is likely that the lock keeper's house dates from that same period.
