Full Description
An early 19th century toll house, which is now in use as a private residence. It is single-storey, and was built of colourwashed coursed rubble and has a hipped concrete tile roof with central stack and overhanging eaves. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1}
Lodge Cottage was the subject of historical research in October 2016, when an assessment of its significance was produced, prior to proposed extensions and alterations. Although described in the listing as a former toll house, the building was actually thought to have functioned as a former gate lodge to Brattleby Park, and was thought to have been constructed in about 1780, when the park was established. Although designed in a very similar style to a typical toll house of this area, the building does not lie on any of the known turnpike routes, and is not depicted as a toll house on any of the historic Ordnance Survey map editions. A number of different extensions have been added to the north and east (rear) of the property, which has also been subject to considerable alterations, including the replacement of the original slate roof with concrete tiles, and the renewal of most of the windows, doros and rainwater goods with modern materials. {2}
