Lantern House BADBY By Darren MacKenzie



This is a Grade 2 listed building, (Formerly listed as Lodge to Fawsley Park), dating from the late 1700s/early 1800s. It is a two storey, octagonal building with coursed squared ironstone, plain roof tiles.

There is a plank door in a chamfered stone arch with 4-centred head within stone porch which has similar doorway with hood mould, with a stone coat of arms above. The stonework of the porch was largely renewed in 1981.
It has one-light windows throughout with diamond pattern leading in double-chamfered stone surrounds, except for ground floor window to right side facing road of 2 lights with chamfered mullions. Above the porch and in corresponding positions to rear and right sides, windows have hood moulds.
Single-storey gabled wing to the rear balancing porch (stonework largely renewed in 1981) and 20th century single-storey extension to left side. Chamfered plinth, offset buttresses to angles facing road, moulded stone eaves, and 20th century lead flue replacing central stone stack at apex of pyramidal roof.
