Bussey Stool Lodge

Bussey Stool Lodge is a hunting lodge that has been converted into a private house. It dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with extensions added in the late 18th century and further alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features Flemish bond brickwork made with unusually large bricks, while the right-hand bay is constructed in English bond. There is a vertical band of headers below the right stack. The roof is hipped and tiled, with brick stacks positioned along the ridge at each end. The lodge is a single storey with attics and has a five-window range, including hipped dormers. The ground floor openings are topped with segmental brick heads, and there are 2 and 3 light 20th-century casements with horizontal glazing bars. Glazed doors are located in the second and fourth bays from the right.

Inside, the lodge has some shallow chamfered ceiling beams and a deeply chamfered ceiling beam with cyma stops, which features wrought-iron hooks that may have been used for hanging venison. There is also an open fireplace with a chamfered bressummer. The building holds historical significance as it was a hunting lodge used by a game warden of Cranborne Chase.
