Description
Lymes Lodge is a mid-19th century lodge building, also shown on the Ordnance Survey map as Lymes Cottage. It is constructed from coursed rock-faced yellow sandstone with ashlar dressings and features fishscale tiled roofs with raised stone verges. The building has a roughly 'L'-shaped plan with a service building at the rear and stands two storeys high. It includes 2-light mullioned windows throughout, which have patterned cast-iron casements.
A prominent feature is the projecting gabled porch, which has an elliptical arch and displays the Sneyd family coat-of-arms above it, located at the angle between the main range and the right gable. The left-hand gable end features a canted bay projection on the ground floor. The main range has a sandstone ridge stack with rectangular brick shafts, and at the rear, there is an integral lateral stack with paired ashlar shafts and a common moulded capping, which is corbelled at the first-floor level. Attached to the rear gable is a single-storeyed brick service building that includes a cast-iron kitchen range.
