The Lodge to Melchbourne Park, built in 1832 by Henry Garling for Lord St. John, is a Grade II listed building. It features ashlar stonework and a roof covered with limestone tiles. The main wing is two stories high, flanked by single-story wings on three sides, all designed in a Neo-Tudor style.
On the south elevation, the left-hand block includes a two-light casement window. The central block has a canted bay on the ground floor and a two-light casement window with a label above it on the first floor, topped with a carved plaque displaying the St. John arms. The right-hand block features a gabled porch with a four-centred doorhead and entrance, which has a moulded dripstone and stops, along with a Neo-Tudor chimney stack at the rear. The gables are adorned with decorated bargeboards and drop finials.
The west elevation includes a chimney stack with a datestone. There is also a 20th-century flat-roofed extension on the west side.
