Description
North Lodge is a lodge that was formerly for Dene Park, built in the mid-19th century. It features red-brown brick laid in a random bond, with timber-framed bays that have roughcast infill. The building has a brick stack and original ornamental chimney shafts that are tall and slender, divided into octagonal shapes with star-shaped coping, and a peg-tile roof.
The lodge has a small T-plan layout. The main block faces southeast towards the former drive to Dene Park and has a two-room plan with an axial stack between back-to-back fireplaces on both floors. There is a front lobby entrance located behind a two-storey porch. A one-room kitchen block projects to the rear of the center and includes a gable-end stack.
The exterior is designed in a Tudor style with an asymmetrical two-window front. On the left side, there is a full-height timber-framed bay with a semi-pyramidal roof that slopes back under a gable. The windows throughout the building are casements featuring a diamond and half-hexagonal pattern of iron glazing bars. To the right, the lobby entrance is behind a two-storey timber-framed and gabled porch. The upper porch room is supported by posts and has shaped boards that create a shoulder-headed arch above an overlight, with a part-glazed panelled door flanked by shoulder-headed sidelights. The roof is gable-ended, and all gables have fretted wavy bargeboards with apex finials. The right gable end features a two-storey canted timber-framed bay window similar to the one on the front. The interior has not been inspected.
