Building record MDR16103 - Alderwasley Lodge, Whatstandwell Bridge, Whatstandwell, Alderwasley

A Grade II listed lodge, a mid-19th century enlargement of an earlier structure, built of coursed squared gritstone with coped gables except to the west side, with an intermediate stack set off the roof-ridge, with diagonally set coupled stone chimney-pots. The roof has stone slates and plain tiles. The 'L'-plan house is in the local 17th century vernacular style. The east elevation has two storeys, and two bays with an advanced gable to the north end, and a canted bay to the ground floor with mullions and transoms beneath a shallow pitched roof. Above, there is a two-light chamfer mullioned window beneath a hoodmould with stops. The south bay has two semi-circular headed arches to the ground floor, divided by a plain square pillar, forming an arcaded porch to the entrance with a six-panelled door. The former single-storey outhouse to the west is now raised to two-storey height to form part of the dwelling, which was restored in 1984. (1)
