Description
Charcoal Lodge is a lodge dating to 1906, built for the 9th Earl of Warrington by J. Compton Hall. The lodge is constructed with a snecked stone ground floor, a brick first floor, ashlar dressings, and a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high, with two rooms on each floor, a two-storey central porch, and a single-storey rear wing and a lean-to. The design is in the Tudor style.
Architectural details include an ashlar plinth, a first-floor band, quoins, projecting eaves, and coped gables with kneelers. The two-storey porch has a square-headed door with an ovolo-moulded surround and a flat dentilled hood on brackets. Above the door is the coat of arms. A datestone sits above the first-floor window of the porch. The lodge has one window to each floor on either side of the porch, each with three lights. All windows incorporate cavetto-moulded mullions. A two-storey wing, mirroring the porch, extends from the rear. A single rear stack and a gable stack with gathered flues are present, along with an inglenook window.
