Description
Park Lodge is a mid-19th century lodge built in a crenellated style. It is brick, rendered, with a concrete tile roof and features decorative bands, crenellated parapets, three side wall stacks, and a single roof stack. The lodge is two storeys high and has five unequal bays, arranged in a U-shaped plan, with walls and parapets having ashlar copings. The windows are 20th-century casements, mostly set within original pointed openings.
The main north front has a square central block flanked by walls and single wings. The central block's recessed bay contains a pointed-headed recess housing three casements and a door. Projecting flanking bays each have a single pointed blank opening, with a single cross opening above. Each flanking wall has a doorway with a segmental head. The flanking wings each have a pointed blank opening containing a casement to the left and a door to the right. The main block, facing south, has remains of three pointed openings, now containing a central 20th-century door flanked by bow windows; above, three pointed openings containing casements. The east side has a pointed opening with a casement above. All other window openings are 20th century.
