Description

Dell Lodge is a later 18th century, two-storey house with an attic over a basement, featuring a five-bay east-facing facade that is mainly harled. The front is symmetrical, with a slightly advanced central bay. The entrance is highlighted by a fine nine-fielded-panel door and an almost square fanlight with decorative radial glazing. There is an oculus in the gablet with an apex stack, and a pair of piended dormers. The ground floor has two longer windows on the return of the south gable, along with a modern oriel window on the first floor. At the rear, there is a projecting stairwell with a piended roof and a long multi-pane glazed window. The main house has 12-pane glazing, coped end stacks, and slate roofs.

To the rear (west), there is a long single-storey and attic wing, along with a later three-storey wing made of white painted corrugated iron at the northwest. Inside, the staircase features simple turned wooden balusters, and there are six-panel doors with beaded panelling and moulded architraves, as well as similarly panelled window shutters. Additionally, a pair of late 19th century single-storey service cottages adjoin the rear wing of the main house, forming a U-plan courtyard.

Dell Lodge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,260 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 80% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 78 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 99% of listed buildings. Of these, 61 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
