Description
Wretham Lodge is an early 19th-century house constructed of flint with gault brick dressings and a hipped slate roof. The building has two to three storeys and features a symmetrical facade with three bays. The round arched doorway is made of finely cut gauged brick and includes a door with a fanlight above. Tall square-headed sash windows with glazing bars are present, along with a continuous brick cornice beneath a plain parapet. There are two central stacks on the roof.
The garden facade has four bays with identical first-floor windows, while the ground-floor windows are taller, requiring tripartite lower sashes. To the north, there is a kitchen or service bay that connects to a small courtyard enclosed by a stable block. The stable block is also built of flint with gault brick facings and a hipped slate roof. It features two round-headed doorways made of gauged brick and a larger four-centred doorway that has been partly rebuilt, along with one small window that has two vertical mullions.
