Walden Lodge

Walden Lodge is a lodge to Audley End park, built in 1814, possibly by Thomas Rickman. It was enlarged around 1977. The building features grey brickwork, with a red brick addition, and has a low-pitched roof that was originally covered in lead. The plan is irregular, consisting of an original square block with an octagonal stair tower projecting at the southeast corner and a porch on the west front. There is also a larger square addition, slightly set back on the north side, with a porch at the north end. The lodge is two storeys high.

The west front elevation faces the park and consists of both the original and later units, which are a single bay. The south end, which is the original bay, has a central projecting porch that is embattled with a moulded string. It features a four-centre arched doorway with a label; the inner door is original, boarded and battened, while the outer door is a 20th-century mahogany double door. Above the doorway is a double casement window with glazing bars, arranged in two rows of three panes, set within a plain, broad, rendered, mock-stone surround with a moulded label. All windows, both old and new, are designed in this style. The building has an embattled parapet and a moulded string that runs around the entire structure.

To the north, there is a brick unit with a single window on each floor. Set back to the north is a single-storey brick porch in a house style, featuring a simple doorway with a plain boarded door. The east elevation, facing Hanover Place, has two single-bayed blocks, old and new, with the newer north block slightly set back. The south end features the octagonal stair tower, which is embattled with a moulded string, and the upper stage projects above the house roof line, having blind embrasures on each face. The south end elevation has a single bay in house style with a window on both floors, while the porch's blank wall is set back on the west side. The stair tower on the east end has narrow stair lights with glazing bars on the ground and first floors, each with one row of four panes. Below the lower window, a brick is inscribed with "G.C.1814." The north end elevation has a brick block in house style with a single-storey projecting porch at the east end, both having a single ground floor window. The interior is plain.
