North Lodge

North Lodge is a former lodge that has been converted into a house. It was designed and built by John Nash between 1798 and 1802 as a lodge for East Cowes Castle, which was his own residence. The building is constructed of Isle of Wight limestone, featuring coursed rubble and a tiled roof that alternates between four courses of plain tiles and one of curved tiles, with clay ridge tiles and double brick clustered chimneystacks. It has two storeys and two windows. The casement windows are fitted with leaded lights and retain their original frames, latches, and hinges made of brass and copper. On the right side, there is a dormer with fretted bargeboards. The ground floor windows are square bay windows supported by wooden brackets and are topped with a tiled penticed hood that nearly spans the entire width of the building, featuring a coved overhang. There is a projecting central weather porch with an arched opening and a fretted gable. A 20th-century extension has been added to the rear using matching materials. Inside, the building retains an original late 18th-century cast iron hob grate. East Cowes Castle was demolished in the 1960s, making North Lodge the only surviving structure from the estate.
