Description

Easton Lodge Stone House is a house, now divided into two dwellings, dating to around 1850, with a date stone inscribed "IT 1606". It is constructed of squared and coursed grey limestone with slate roofs. The eaves overhang and are boxed but lack bargeboards at the gable ends. A large external stepped stack is on the north front, a brick stack at the east gable, and a lateral stack to the south wing. The building follows an L-plan, with a porch set into the angle of the west front and a service wing to the rear (east). The architectural style is Tudor.

The west front is two storeys with an attic, arranged as a 1:2 bay layout. All window openings are topped with square hoodmolds. A lancet window is in the gable end of the attic, and the ground and first floors have four-light casements, with the exception of a 16-pane sash window on the first floor to the right and in the re-entrant angle. The ground floor to the right of the porch has French windows. A single-storey porch, with a central gable, features a moulded, segmental-headed doorway with double doors that have ornamentally carved panels to the left return. The service wing to the left (Easton Lodge) has two full-height bays projecting slightly and with gabled tops, and small windows are set below the eaves between them. A 20th-century dated doorway is on the right side, with otherwise original window openings. The main block (Stone House) projects forward with 2-light casements flanking the north front stack on the first floor, and a three-light window on the ground floor.

The interior, partially visible, includes 19th-century fittings. The entrance hall features a carved, Jacobean-style architrave. An archway leads to a moulded, nine-panel compartment ceiling in the dining room to the left, with a good carved Tudor-style surround to the windows. A similar arrangement is likely present in the drawing room to the right. The house was the residence of Edward Easton in 1861. The meaning of the inscribed plaque and "IT 1606" are unknown and appear contemporary with the house's construction, potentially representing a date of significance to the 19th-century builders.
