Description
Goats Lodge is a lodge built in 1839, with mid-20th century alterations and additions, designed by Trubshaw. It features a close studded timber frame style that mimics brick, with a chisel dressed ashlar plinth and dressings. The building has overhanging plain tile roofs adorned with elaborate shaped fretted barge boards and finials.
The structure is a two-cell cottage with a porch on the west side and an extension on the east. To the left, there is a single-storey and attic range, while to the right, a two-storey gabled porch has a first-floor string course decorated with a row of carved goats' heads. The facade has roughly 1:1 bays and includes a moulded Tudor arched porch opening leading to an iron-studded door with decorative wrought iron false hinges.
The windows consist of an ovolo-moulded mullion window on the ground floor with four lights, a two-light gabled attic dormer above, a single-light window in the centre of the ground floor, and a three-light window on the first floor of the porch, which features a coat of arms above it. An octagonal shafted ridge stack is located to the left of centre, with carved downward pointing arrows at each corner and carved deer heads on the moulded caps.
The south gable has a bracketed attic jetty, a six-light mullioned and transomed window on the ground floor with casements and decorative cast iron glazing bars, and a single-light attic window. Goats Lodge serves as a lodge at the entrance to Bagot's Park.
