Description

The South Lodge of Downton Hall is an early 19th-century lodge constructed from coursed stone rubble, featuring a Welsh slate roof and brick diagonal stacks, with a double stack on the left side topped with large stone caps. The building has a tower with a wing to the left and is two stories high beneath an eight-faceted roof, with a single story and attic on the left. Each side of the lodge has fixed mullion lights with glazing bars, although the front light has been replaced by a 20th-century casement. The eaves are ornamented with boards and pendants.

On the ground floor, there are two-light casements, with the front window featuring one leaded light. A plank door is set in a beaded case, all beneath shouldered stone drip-courses. The rustic porch has a pentice roof and an ornamented fascia. The left wing includes a 20th-century two-light casement under a shouldered drip-course, with a gable roof-dormer above that contains a 19th-century two-light casement. The deep eaves are adorned with cusped barge-boards, while the left side features 20th-century barge-boards. At the rear, there is a 20th-century single-storey wing and paired diagonal brick stacks.
