Description
The Lodge and stables to the south-east, originally an officers' mess and later a hospital, is now an old people's home. It was built in the early 19th century and features grey Gault brick with some white weatherboarding and slate hipped roofs, along with several rendered stacks. The building has an L-plan form and is primarily single-storey, with a lower storey built into the hillside as a sub-basement.
The short south-west elevation of the main block has two 12-pane sash windows with sills at ground level. To the east of these windows is a projecting parapeted corner block that contains a door on the flank and a small-paned sash window with shutters. Connecting to this corner is a length of wrought-iron handrail with a Gothick balustrade. The long north-west face of the rear block features two 12-pane sash windows with reeded surrounds. The shorter south-west face includes a slate hipped bay window, a 20th-century lean-to greenhouse, and a bell cupola on the roof with a lead covoid roof, finial, and decorative eaves.
The south-east elevation is partly clad in white boarding and has three lead-covered flat-roofed dormers along with a slated lean-to. The two-storey north-east elevation has white weatherboarding over painted brick and four 12-pane sash windows on the first floor. The ground floor features four small-paned horizontal-sliding casement windows, two doors, a 20th-century small-paned French window, and a tall stack. The single-storey stable block to the south-east is made of brick with a hipped plain tile roof and has two circular windows with radiating glazing bars. Inside, there are some early 19th-century details, including reeded door architraves with roundels in the corners. The building is believed to have served as an officers' mess during the Napoleonic Wars before being converted into a hospital.
