East Lodge

East Lodge is a substantial building, also known as Penshaw Lodge, built around 1875. It is constructed of buff brick in English garden wall bond, featuring red brick quoins and dressings, with graduated slate roofs and brick chimney stacks.

The entrance front consists of a two-storey left bay and a taller projecting gabled cross-wing to the right, which has two storeys and an attic. A stone plinth supports the structure. At the junction of the two sections, there is a gabled wooden porch set diagonally. The original openings contain replaced two- and three-pane casements with sloping sills and segmental heads. The left bay features a gabled half dormer with pierced bargeboards, while the cross-wing has an attic window. The steeply-pitched roof has overhanging eaves and verges, with pierced wavy bargeboards and crested ridge tiles. The left end and ridge stacks are conjoined and corniced. On the left return, there is a slightly-projecting external chimney-breast with offsets and flanking windows. Additionally, there is a two-storey, one-bay gabled wing at right angles on the left rear, which shares similar architectural features.
