Description
The Old Lodge at Hamsterley Hall is an early 20th-century lodge building, originally serving as an entrance to the larger Hamsterley Hall. It is constructed of snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and a stone-flagged roof. The building has an irregular plan and is designed in the Art Nouveau style. It is a single-storey structure with two bays. A pent roof shelters the door, which is set within a stone surround on the left side, while a projecting stone-mullioned bay window is present on the right. A hipped dormer extends from the bay window. A wooden corner post supports the small roofed porch over the door. The hipped roof features a tall, cruciform ashlar stack with taller central corniced shafts. The returns of the lodge have a pent roof which continues to form wide eaves over battered buttresses. A retaining wall at the rear, on the right return, includes a segmental-headed gateway, and has moulded coping.
