Description
South Lodge to Warley Place is a lodge that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 17th century, with 19th and 20th-century alterations. The building is timber-framed and weatherboarded, topped with a roof made of composition tiles. It features a 19th-century stack designed in a 17th-century style, with a diagonal shaft. The lodge is one storey high with an attic and has an east-facing front elevation that includes three windows, all fitted with lattice-framed casements. There is a two-light window and a three-cant oriel window supported by shaped brackets, along with a boarded door that has decorative strap hinges and another two-light window.
The rear elevation has a nearly full-length, 20th-century brick addition with a flat roof, which exposes one original lattice casement window. The southern end of this addition is weatherboarded and includes a door with a lower fielded panel and upper glazing featuring glazing bars, arranged in a 4x3 pane configuration. The west elevation is rendered and color-washed, showcasing one two-light casement window with glazing bars and two additional two-light casement windows. The northern end elevation is plain.
Inside, the lodge features an exposed jowled post and a trapped side purlin roof supported by oak rafters with simple wind braces. It is believed that the house may have been constructed under the direction of Humphry Repton while he was designing the landscaped park for Warley Place, which has since been demolished, in 1806. However, there was an earlier house on the site that was reworked in the 19th century. South Lodge, along with other buildings around the green, forms a cohesive group.
