Description
Sparrow Hatch is likely a former gamekeeper's lodge built in the mid-19th century. It is a two-storey building constructed of red brick with a tiled roof. The roof features a parapet and a cornice made of bricks set diagonally. The building is adorned with two shaped Dutch gables and has three Dering windows. A shaped gabled porch adds to its architectural character.
