Description
Back Lodge is a former lodge to Hinderton Hall, now a private house, built around 1856 with 20th-century alterations and an extension. Designed by Alfred Waterhouse, it features rock-faced red sandstone with ashlar dressings and flush quoins, topped with a green slate roof that includes some fishscale slates and stone copings. The building has an L-shaped plan and is two stories tall with a one-bay gabled front. To the right, there is a half bay return of the gabled right front. The entrance consists of a 20th-century door located in the half bay. The front façade includes a single-storey canted bay window with a hipped roof; the front sashes have been altered to a single fixed light, while the splays retain unaltered 1/1 sashes. Above the canted bay window are paired 1/1 sashes. The gabled right front features 1- and 2-light casements on the ground floor and 2-light casements on the first floor. All openings, except for the windows in the canted bay, have label-stopped hoodmoulds. The interior has not been inspected. Back Lodge and Quarry Lodge are built to the same design.
