West Lodge

West Lodge is a lodge built around 1878 by G.H. Hunt of London for Daniel Radcliffe of Birmingham, with an extension added in the late 20th century. The building features a ground floor made of rock-face coursed sandstone and a timber-framed upper section. It has a plain-tile roof with gabled and half-hipped ends, a hipped corner, crested ridge-tiles with end finials, and panelled bargeboards. The lateral stacks are made of red brick with set-offs and truncated shafts, and the north stack is supported on a stone corbel-table.

The lodge has an L-shaped plan with a porch at the angle and single-storey outbuildings surrounding a small service yard at the back. The exterior is two storeys high with asymmetrical elevations. The east front features a projected gable-ended wing on the right, which includes a stone canted bay window on the ground floor and a first-floor jettied section supported by large shaped brackets. The first floor has a shallow oriel with a 5-light mullion-transom window and a gable apex above, which is jettied on a moulded bressumer with a small shield. To the left of the gable, the main roof extends down as a catslide over an open-sided porch supported by turned white-painted timber posts, with a small balustrade on the left return over the colonnade.

The left return has a half-hipped gable that incorporates a timber-framed oriel on brackets, with coved eaves and a 5-light mullion-transom window. Below this, there is a 4-light stone mullion-transom window on the ground floor. The rear side of the lodge has a lateral stack on the right, a small jettied gable to the left of the centre, and a small first-floor window in the left corner. There is a range of single-storey outbuildings around a small yard to the left, with a small late 20th-century wing infilling the north side. The interior has not been inspected. Notably, the main house, Great Alne Manor, which was built in 1878 by the same architect, was demolished in 1935.
