Description
The Lodge Cottage is a cottage ornée built around 1840, designed in the Victorian Gothic style. It is one-and-a-half storeys tall and features a timber frame with old roughcast. The main roof is thatched, while the lean-to roofs at the front are covered with slates. The cottage has two internal chimney stacks with hexagonal white brick shafts and fluted bargeboards on the gables.
The central projecting wing contains the entrance, which features a plank door with an arched hood-mould. Above the door is a 2-light casement window with a flat hood-mould, flanked by two 2-light casement windows with pointed heads. On either side of the projecting wing are single-storey lean-tos with hipped roofs, each having one 2-light casement window and a single-light window with a pointed head.
Each gable end has a small projecting canted bay topped with a battlemented wooden feature, containing casement windows on the ground storey and a 2-light casement window with a flat hood-mould above. Most of the windows still feature octagonal leaded panes.
