Description
East Lodge is a lodge to a country house and gate-piers, now serving as a private house. It was built in 1834 for Benjamin Sampson, the manager of a local powder factory. The structure features shale rubble walls with dressed architectural details and slate sills. It has a polygonal hipped roof made of scantle slate, with projecting eaves and a central two-stage axial brick chimney. The gutters are made of cast iron in an ogee style.
The plan consists of two rooms flanking a central baffle entry, with service rooms located behind. There is a slight extension to the rear from the 20th century, and an additional room on the left-hand side (north) of the front, which is in the same style but possibly added later, also with a room behind. The lodge exhibits Gothic style details and is a single-storey building.
The west front, originally facing the driveway, has three windows. There is a one-window bay, which may be a later addition, set back slightly on the left, and a symmetrical two-window front with a central doorway. The wooden doorway is steep and has a four-centred arch, featuring an original ledged door with blind arched panels. The original open porch has been glazed and features a scantle slated gabled roof supported by four square posts, with small capitals on the front posts. The tympanum displays a three-bay blind cantilevered arcade of trefoil-headed arches, with the central arch being taller. The windows are set in steep four-centred arched recesses and have original paired traceried lights over lozenge-paned casements, all leaded. The corners are splayed to the left and right, with a similar window on the right-hand side wall and a quatrefoil window opening in the coped wall that screens a lean-to.
Inside, the lodge has a simple interior, and the porch floor features the date 1834 in cobbles. To the west of the south side, there are square-on-plan dressed granite gate-piers that have caps with inverted step cornices and pyramidal tops, rising to flat square bases suitable for statues, urns, or torches. East Lodge was formerly the lodge to Tullimaar, a good quality house built around 1828. It is an early 19th-century lodge that retains most of its original features and is almost identical to West Lodge, but larger.
