Description

South Lodge is a lodge dating to 1891. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a plain tile roof, and is arranged in an L-shape. The lodge has ashlar stone quoins and a flush grey brick band separating the ground and first floors, and across the eaves of the south gable. The band features two small grey brick circles. The upper part of the first floor on the front is divided into square panels filled with tessellated brickwork. There are two shaped gables, one to the south at the east end and one to the west gable end, featuring moulded stone kneelers and stone coping with ball finials. The east gable end is half-hipped and has a row of crested ridge tiles. A projecting brick stack is present on the east side, with twisted stone flues having moulded caps and bases. A rear stack is located towards the centre of the building. The fenestration is irregular, with no first-floor windows on the main front range, and a canted leaded oriel window to the first floor of the south gable, set above a rectangular bay at ground floor level. A wooden veranda extends along the south elevation of the main range, and a boarded door is located at the east end of the south elevation. An 1891 datestone is set into the south gable, and the lodge historically served Gennings. The interior has not been inspected.
