Description
Fowberry Lodge is a lodge built in 1829, although it likely dates from the 1770s or 1780s. It is constructed of ashlar stone with a local slate roof and is designed in the Gothick style. There is a plain early 19th-century extension at the back. The lodge is a single-storey building with a three-bay facade. It features a central door that leads to a lobby, with one room on each side. The windows on the left and right are ogee-shaped with intersecting glazing bars. The door also has an ogee head, which is truncated by a shelf that has a rope-moulded edge, likely intended to hold a dog's head, similar to the gate-piers. Above the door is a fanlight with intersecting glazing bars, and above that is an oval recessed panel displaying the date 1829 and a shell, which is the crest of the Milbournes, the 20th-century owners of Fowberry. Flanking the panel are the initials M.C., representing Matthew Culley. The building has a moulded cornice and a parapet adorned with nine small quatrefoils. The central bay projects slightly and features a castellated pediment. Inside, there is a sandstone fireplace with ogee sides and a lintel decorated with Gothick tracery, dating from around 1780.
