It is two storeys high and features a flint-faced exterior with red brick quoins and window dressings. The building has two shaped Dutch gables and a tiled roof that includes a large brick chimney stack. The windows are casement style with cambered head linings, and there is a simple doorcase. Additionally, the right side of the lodge has a Victorian letter-box. The Lodge and the Draper's Almshouses together form a group.
