Description
The Lodge is a late 18th-century building, one of a pair of symmetrical lodges attributed to the architect James Wyatt, similar to Phyllis Court Lodge. It has a square plan and features a Portland stone base with plastered walls. The building has a flat projecting eaves cornice decorated with a pattern of guttae alternating with raised diamonds that contain formalized flowers. The roof is flat and pitched with slate. Although designed to look like a single-storey pavilion, it actually contains two superimposed rooms. Each of the three elevations has one tall window or door, while the facade facing the town features a Palladian window. The Lodge, along with Phyllis Court Lodge and their associated gate piers and connecting walls, forms a group at the entrance to Henley.
