Description

South Lodge at Easneye is a gatehouse that contains two houses, built in the late 19th century, possibly by Alfred Waterhouse, who constructed the main house, Easneye, for T R Buxton between 1867 and 1869. The lodge is made of red brick and features a red tiled roof with half-hipped ends, decorative ridge tiles, and finials. It has one and a half storeys, with the upper floor slightly projecting on a toothed corbel band. A large central chimney is adorned with pilaster strips that are corbelled out at the top.

The west front is asymmetrical and overlooks secondary gates from a high bank. The left side has a central boarded door beneath a bracketed lean-to porch with a red tiled roof made of scalloped tiles. To the right of the door, there is a two-light transomed casement window under a segmental gauged arch, and a narrow casement window is located on the left. There is a gabled projection to the right of the center, which includes a headed door, a two-light window, and small windows on the returns. The gable features cusped bargeboards and a half-timbered lucarne on the left-hand house (No 2).
