Swan Lodge

Swan Lodge is an early 19th-century lodge built as an entrance to Audley End Park. It is constructed of flint cobbles with red brick dressings and a clay tiled roof, designed in a "Tudor" style. The lodge has an L-shaped plan, comprising two parallel blocks of differing lengths with gable ends that are flush at the north front. The building is two stories high.

The north front features two symmetrical gables with parapets, finials (one now missing) and kneelers. Each unit on this front has a single window on each floor, designed in the “house style” with chamfered brick surrounds and double casement windows with a hollow chamfered frame and a central stile. These windows have cast-iron diamond lattice casements. A projecting red brick gabled porch, with angle buttresses, is positioned centrally on the ground floor. The interior door of the porch is accessed via a four-centred arched overlight with radiating glazing bars and a two-leaf, flush-panelled door.

The west garden elevation includes a long wall belonging to the larger of the two blocks with a three-window range. There is a large stack with six diagonally set shafts at the roof apex between the windows north of the centre. A large external stack with three diagonal shafts is located at the south end gable, topped with a parapet featuring a moulded terracotta cornice and kneelers at each end. Most windows are in the "house style”, however, a ground floor window at the north end is a three-cant bay with a parapet, moulded coping and cornice, and windows with a 1:2:1 light configuration. To the south of the centre is a doorway with label and brick dressings, now containing a 20th-century two-leaf door with a long, central glazed panel.

The south end elevation showcases a gable of the long range (to the west), featuring a massive red brick external stack shouldered up to three diagonal shafts. To the east, a smaller, setback block has a gable end with a first-floor window in the "house style." Below, a 20th-century lean-to with a red clay tiled roof and a door with upper glazing (2x3 panes) has been added, alongside a large two-light window on a dwarf brick wall. A similar lean-to construction and door are present on the inner north face of the larger block.

The east side elevation joins a short north block to a boundary wall. A window in the "house style" but now incorporating a double casement with glazing bars (4x2 panes) is set into this wall. Above, a moulded cornice supports a twin diagonal-shafted stack rising through the roof pitch. To the south, the larger parallel block stands back, creating a yard along with a boundary wall. Two first-floor windows in the "house style" are visible; a 20th-century lean-to is situated beneath them. A gable end stack is visible on the south end of this block.
