Description
Swithland Hall Lodge is a lodge built in 1847, designed in the Tudor style using rusticated granite ashlar. It features dressed stone quoins and dressings, along with a roof made of Swithland slate, which has a stack that is part granite and part stucco on the gable roof to the right. The building is 1½ storeys high and has a projecting gable facing to the right.
On the ground floor to the left, there are two arched arcades with a third arch on the left side. Above the front arcade, there is a stone cartouche inscribed with the year 1847. The entrance door is located to the right. The front of the gable includes a canted bay with stone mullions and diamond-shaped panes. Above this bay, there is a carved stone panel displaying the Danvers-Butler family arms.
On the right end of the lodge, there are three single-light windows with hood moulds, while the left end has two similar two-light windows. Additionally, there is a two-light window and a 20th-century single-storey extension at the rear.
