Description
Derwentcote Lodge is a mid-19th century lodge that served Derwentcote Hall, which has since been demolished. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble with an ashlar plinth, quoins, and painted brick and ashlar dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. It is a single-storey structure with three bays. The central entrance features a boarded door surrounded by a segmental-headed painted brick arch, which has deep concave moulding and a flower-stopped drip mould. The two-centred-arched windows on either side have similar decorative treatment, with jambs styled as alternate blocks and intersecting glazing bars. The low-pitched roof has projecting eaves and wooden gutters supported by shaped brackets. A central chimney made of rubble has two diagonally-set square stone shafts and round yellow pots.
To the right, there is a one-storey, one-bay 20th-century extension that matches the original style and includes a plain two-light window. The left side facing the road features a Gothic-style window with intersecting glazing bars, set beneath a moulded diamond-shaped panel in the gable peak, and has decorated bargeboards with a carved shaft supporting a spear finial. A 20th-century rear extension is noted but is not of special interest.
