Description
Keepers Lodge is a former keeper's lodge that belonged to the Shuttleworth estate, located approximately 160 metres southeast of Queen Anne's Summerhouse. Built in the later 19th century, it features a cottage ornee style. The structure is made of red brick, with the upper part covered in colourwashed roughcast render and decorated with applied timber framing. It has a half-hipped clay tile roof adorned with bands of fishscale tiles, terracotta ridge cresting, and finials. The lodge has a two-room plan with slightly projecting gables on the west and east sides, and it consists of one storey with attics. Throughout the building, there are cast iron lattice casements, and some ground floor windows are designed with mullions and transoms. The ground floor windows have flat heads made of moulded stone, and the south gable end is jettied on decorative stone brackets. A large multiple ridge stack made of red brick features a moulded cornice.
