Description
Baytree Lodge is a late 19th-century lodge that served a country house known as Melingey, which is no longer standing. The building features a combination of coursed local freestone and some dressed stone, topped with slate roofs. The gable ends are decorated with pierced roundels on wooden bargeboards and open panels above the collar, all supported by corbels. It has tall ashlar chimneys with cornices, one over the left gable end and another over the right side wall. The lodge has an L-shaped, single-storey layout with a square entrance porch located in the angle.
Designed in a vernacular Victorian gothic style, the north front showcases the side wall of the east wing on the left, the porch in the angle, and the gable end of the north wing on the right. The east wing features a central three-light transom window and a half-hipped dormer with a segmental pierced bargeboard. The porch rises as a tower above the eaves with a steep pyramidal roof, machicolated and moulded eaves cornice, a trefoil head light on the front, and a pointed doorway on the left side. The door is top-glazed with a panel and has a single pane overlight above the tympanum.
The north gable end includes a five-light transomed canted bay window, with the lower mullions supported by turned columns with carved capitals. Other windows on the building are less elaborate but retain their original leaded glazing. The interior has not been inspected. The entrance wall features a square coursed freestone gateway with terminal piers, truncated finials over the gate-piers, and moulded capitals with ball finials on the terminal piers. The low wall between the piers has moulded copings. The lodge was extended in the 20th century at the rear.
