Description

Combe Royal Lodge is a lodge built in the mid-19th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed from limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. The building has a T-shaped plan, oriented with its gable facing the road.

The lodge is one and a half storeys tall. Its windows are small casements with horizontal bars, set within recessed ovolo moulded stone surrounds and mullions. The main façade, which faces north into the garden, includes a gabled wing that extends forward to the right. This wing has two-light windows with stopped drips on each level. To the left, the eaves range features a coped gable with a two-light window above another two-light window with a drip, and a further two-light window to the left, which has replaced the original doorway. The gable facing the road has a two-light window with a drip at the upper level.

At the inner end of the building, there is a face dormer with four lights beneath a flat bowed head, and a large late 20th-century casement window below it, which is located under a lintel that once served a carriage entrance. To the left of this is a part-glazed door with a flat hood. A small ridge stack is positioned to the right. The rear of the lodge is plain, featuring a small eaves stack, and to the left, there is a lower hipped block attached to the gable. All main gables are coped and topped with square open finials that match those on the main house.

The interior of the building has not been inspected. Historically, this lodge may represent an earlier structure that underwent picturesque remodelling during the rebuilding of Combe Lodge in 1855.
