Description
Low Lodge at Castle Carr is a pair of lodges, one of which is occupied, linked by an impressive archway. Built around 1868 for Joseph Priestley Edwards of Castle Carr, the lodges are made of hammer-dressed stone and feature a flat bitumen roof in the Castle style. Each two-storey lodge has tall two-light double chamfered mullioned windows on both floors. The buildings have an embattled parapet with stepped crenellation supported by false machicolation. The doorways are Tudor-arched with sunken spandrels and a two-light window above. A tall stair tower rises higher than the lodges and includes arrow-slits. The rear side has a rectangular single-storey bay with castellations, a two-light window, and a basement. The lodges are connected by a large semi-circular archway adorned with zig-zag ornamentation on colonnettes and a hoodmould, topped with stepped crenellation and a large unfinished finial.
