Description

North Lodge is a lodge to Madresfield Court, built in 1872 by Norman Shaw. It is constructed of brick with applied timber-framing and has a tiled roof. The building is two storeys high. The west gable wall, which faces the road, features a canted timber window with five lights and a transom on the ground floor, situated below a bracketed jetty. The first floor has a window with eight lights, made with timber mullions and geometric glazing. Below this window, there is a row of framed panels with ogee bracing. Above, an embattled tie-beam jetties forward and supports a fishbone king-post, which is partly obscured by bargeboards. At the top of the gable, there is a finial with a weathervane. A tall star-plan chimney rises from the center of the roof.

On the south wall, which faces the drive, there are two 2-light stone mullioned windows towards the right. Above these windows is a gable with applied timbering and a 6-light timber mullioned window. To the left, there is a gabled porch that features turned balusters on a brick base. To the right of the porch, there are stone steps and a timber corner post. The porch covers a 3-light timber mullioned window and a moulded doorway with a Tudor arch. The porch gable is topped with an iron finial. The roofs of the lodge have pierced ridge tiles.
