Listed Building: THE LODGE (284413)

TL 97 NE MARKET WESTON HEPWORTH ROAD 1/60 The Lodge - II Former farmhouse. Early C19 front to early C16 and later core. 2 storeys and attics. L-shaped form. Timber-framed and rendered, part with roughcast; black glazed pantiled roofs, hipped. The rear wing has been encased in C19 brick, now colour-washed, and there is a single storey C19 lean-to, in rubble flint with brick dressings, along the north side of this wing. The main facade has 3 early C19 tripartite small-paned sash windows in flush frames to ground storey and 2 to upper storey, with a single sash above the entrance door, which is set off-centre within a C20 glazed porch. The rear ranges have mainly small-paned sash windows, but there are also some C18 and C19 casement windows. The house has developed in at least 4 stages, the oldest part being the early C16 front range, which was extended on both sides in the early C19. The central section, probably basically with a 2-cell form, has a good crown- post roof,the crown post of the open truss of a simple cross-quadrate form, with pilasters running down the sides of the post. There is no sign of smoke- blackening, and the house must have been storied from the outset. A long service range was added at the rear, forming an L, in the mid C17: this has a plain unstepped butt-purl in roof, and was later encased in brick. When the lean-to was added on the north, the original timber-framed wall on the north side was cut away, and the upper wall supported by a post of octagonal form, which may have been part of an open Jacobean porch or colonnade. The third addition was a separately-roofed mid C18 block parallel with the front, forming a double-house. This contains a fine geometric stair. The interior of the house largely reflects later C18 and early C19 enlargements and alterations. Listing NGR: TL9876577248
