Description
East Lodge to Little Dalby Hall is a lodge that has been converted into a house, built around 1837, likely designed by T. L. Donaldson for E. B. Hartopp, with some additions from the mid-20th century. The structure is made of ironstone with limestone ashlar dressings and features thatched roofs. It has a chamfered plinth, bargeboards with drops and finials, and a paired ridge stack with coped patterned round stalks, along with a square corner stack that has an octagonal coped stalk.
The building is single storey plus garrets and consists of 2 bays in an L-shaped plan. The front elevation includes a gabled wing on the left with a thatched gabled porch supported by wooden posts, featuring a chamfered doorway with a studded door. To the left of the porch is a single casement window, and to the right is a larger mullioned casement window. Both windows have iron-framed leaded glazing.
On the east end, there is a thatched canted bay window with four leaded casements on the right, and to the left, there is a single storey wash-house. The rear elevation has a mid-20th century lean-to addition in the return angle, with a mullioned casement window above to the right. The west gable features a panel containing a monogram. This building was originally constructed as a lodge for Little Dalby Hall.
