Description

Octagon Lodge is a mid-19th century lodge built for the Wentworth estate. It is constructed of dressed sandstone and has a Welsh slate roof. The building features a flattened octagonal shape with a wing extending to the rear right and has a symmetrical front. It is a single-storey structure with a plinth. The gabled ashlar porch has a round-arched outer doorway and a panelled door inside, topped with a modillioned wood cornice. Each of the angled side walls has a 16-pane sash window with a projecting sill. There is an eaves band at the central gable, and the cornice, similar to that of the porch, wraps around the building. The roof is hipped, and there are corniced stacks at the right end and at the centre of the rear wing.
