Description
Okers Wood Lodge is a 19th-century former gamekeeper's house. It features brick walls laid in Flemish bond with burnt headers and a thatched roof, along with brick stacks. The building is two storeys high, with a central part-glazed door set within a later timber porch. On the ground floor, there are two casement windows with glazing bars, while the first floor has three similar windows. The facade retains a pleasant appearance that still shows Georgian influence.
