Description
Lodge to Seacox Heath, built around 1870, is likely designed by the architects Carpenter and Slater, who also designed the main house, Seacox Heath. This building is in the Vernacular Revival style. The ground floor is made of sandstone, while the first floor features a combination of timber framing with roughcast infill and ornamental tile-hanging. The roof is tiled and consists of two parts, with a clustered central chimneystack and a smaller external chimneystack.
The lodge has two storeys and irregular window arrangements. The front elevation, which faces at a right angle to the road, showcases curved wooden gables adorned with pendant tile-hanging, alternating between two courses of plain and curved tiles, along with flamboyant framing. The first floor has a four-light casement window, and the ground floor features a canted bay window. A doorcase is located in a lean-to wooden porch set back to the left.
On the road elevation, there is a ground floor casement window with a cambered head. The rear elevation displays a gable with a fretted bargeboard and tile-hanging featuring diaper patterns of curved tiles. The first floor has a three-light casement window, while the ground floor includes a two-light casement window next to a half-glazed door.
