Description

Whitehill Lodge, located with the adjoining gateway in the grounds of Eridge Castle, dates from around 1825 and is likely designed by architect John Montier of Tunbridge Wells. The building is two storeys high and features two windows. The ground floor is constructed with rusticated stone, while the upper floor showcases elaborate decorative plasterwork. It has a tiled roof with two gables that have intricately carved bargeboards. The windows are casement style, and the first floor has two bays, with the south front oversailing and a bay window beneath it. There is a stone addition on the ground floor to the east. To the south-east, there are rectangular stone gate-piers, set diagonally, topped with bull's head caps that bear the Abergavenny arms rising from coronets. These gate-piers are likely slightly later than the lodge itself.
