Description
Timber Lodge is a cottage located in the Blaise Castle Estate, dating from the early 19th century. The building is clad in strips of bark and features a brick chimney and a thatched roof. It has a single-depth plan and is designed in the cottage ornee style, consisting of a single storey with an attic and a one-window range. The openings are made with curved timbers, including a pointed-arched doorway in the right-hand porch, pointed-arched windows, leaded casements on the ground floor, and lattice windows in the attic. The interior has not been inspected. Although it is not mentioned in Repton's Red Book of the Blaise Castle House landscape scheme, it may be contemporary with the 1766 castle, but it aligns more closely with the improvements made by Nash and Repton in 1798. The lodge is a finely detailed and uncommon design that exemplifies the rustic simplicity of construction promoted by contemporaries such as Rousseau.
