Willington Lodge, including attached farm buildings

Willington Lodge is a late-Georgian style house dating from the late 18th century, constructed with a Flemish-bond chequerwork brick facade and a hipped slate roof, accentuated by bracketed eaves to the front. Four brick stacks rise behind the house, featuring double and triple square shafts adorned with zig-zag tilework. The symmetrical west-facing front has three bays and is distinguished by a central timber-framed open porch set on a brick dwarf wall with a finial and glazed side panels. The porch leads to a panelled entrance door with a plain overlight. Windows are predominantly 12-pane hornless sashes on the lower floor, and similar 9-pane sashes in the upper floor, all with wedge lintels, and a sill band to the upper storey.

The north-facing side wall incorporates a gabled rear wing and features windows similar to those on the front. However, an earlier added canted bay window on the right side contains French doors, and a replacement half-glazed door is located at the left end. The right-hand side wall, with two bays, also has matching windows. A projecting single-storey cheese room, constructed of brick with a slate roof and a brick stack, extends from the right side. This building has a boarded door and a three-light window in the gable end, alongside a 4-pane sash window in the left side wall. The rear (east) of the house faces a farmyard and showcases a wide gabled bay on the left, along with replacement windows under segmental heads and wedge lintels. The cheese room roof is continuous with a low-pitched pentice, supported by iron posts.

Attached to the rear wing is a lower, U-shaped farm block enclosing a cobbled yard. This block features brick construction and original graded-slate roofs. It’s composed of a lofted former cart house, granary, and stable on the north side, a lofted stable to the east, and a lower shippon to the south. The north side features double half-glazed doors within a shallow, added lean-to porch on the left, followed by a round-headed doorway—likely leading to a granary stair—and a doorway with a small-pane iron-frame window to its right. An identical loft window is positioned above the door, and a single skylight is at the left end. The east side, hipped at the right end, contains an iron-frame window, a doorway, a window opening, another doorway with a boarded door, and an iron-frame window at the end. A single loft loading door has a boarded shutter. The south side has a small, later shippon, featuring a doorway on the left, followed by two split doors (in which only the lower sections have been retained), and a window opening on the right.

The building was not inspected internally.
