Description
Banyers Lodge is a mid-19th century former lodge, originally part of the Banyers estate. It was constructed in the Gothic style, using knapped flints with gault brick dressings and chimney stacks. The roof is tiled, featuring ornamental bargeboards on the dormers and side gables. The building is two storeys high, with first-floor windows set as half dormers. It has two casement windows with geometrical glazing. A raised shield displaying a rampant lion is centrally positioned on the first floor.
