Description

Scotney Castle Lodge is a gate lodge built around 1840, designed by Edward Hussey for himself. It features sandstone and ornamental tile hanging with a plain tiled roof, and has an irregular L-shaped plan in a picturesque Tudor style. The lodge is two storeys high, with a hipped roof on the right and a projecting gabled wing on the left. The gabled wing has a jettied first floor, pierced and moulded bargeboards, and a finial at the gable, along with a similarly styled semi-dormer gable on the right.

On the left side, there is a large projecting stone stack with moulded brick flues, which displays the Hussey Arms, and a moulded stack at the rear center right. The first floor on the right has a two-light wooden casement window, while the left features a two-light casement in a corbelled oriel, supported by a buttress on the ground floor. The ground floor also has a two-light casement to the right, with a rib and stud door in the center, all under a continuous pentice roof. The projecting wing has single light casements in the cutaway corners, adorned with elaborately moulded corbelled stonework above. There is a similarly styled projecting wing at the rear right. Although the new house at Scotney, for which this was the gate lodge, was designed by Anthony Salvin, C. Hussey noted in Country Life on September 6, 1956, that Hussey designed the lodges himself, including the South Lodge in Goudhurst.
