Outrath Lodge

Detached three-bay two-storey over basement former rectory, built c. 1800, with addition to west gable surmounted by water tower, and single-storey extension to rear having pitched slate roof. Now disused. Hipped slate roof with lead ridge capping, overhanging sheeted eaves, long central red brick chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with projecting plinth. Square-headed window openings with timber sliding sash six-over-six pane windows, and cut tooled limestone sills, those to ground floor set in round-headed recesses, and that to ground floor of eat gable being tripartite. Round-headed door opening with carved limestone Greek Revival doorcase, having moulded archivolt, cobweb fanlight and timber panelled door, approached by a flight of cut limestone steps. Outbuildings to west of house, one single-storey with loft, having pitched slate roof, round-headed recess to gable wall echoing doorway of house, and segmental carriage entrance to its front wall. Outbuilding attached to west has barrel-shaped corrugated-iron roof and timber battened doors to gable. Rendered boundary walls to road with wrought-iron double-leaf gates.

This attractive former glebe house of elegant classical proportions retains many interesting features, most notably its timber sliding sash windows and finely carved limestone doorcase. Little altered since the early nineteenth century, this house retains its original character, form and pleasant setting.
