Description

Bowes Farm Lodge is an early 19th-century lodge cottage. It is timber framed and plastered, featuring a hipped grey asbestos tile roof with red ridge tiles. The building is single-storey and has timber supports under the projecting eaves. There are two two-light windows with ogee heads on the return walls, and a central door also with an ogee head. A central plastered chimney stack is present. The lodge is currently in dilapidated condition.
