(SZ 01029980) North Lodge, apparently built in 1715, is of two storeys with dormer-windowed attics. It has brick walls, partly rendered, and a tiled roof. Additions on the east are of the 19th century. The date 1715 worked in relief in the 19th century rendering above the doorway, probably perpetuates a date inscribed on the original facade. <1>
