Description
Ropers Lodge is a lodge built around the 1830s, constructed from coursed limestone with a concrete tile roof featuring deep eaves and verges supported by rustic stone corbels. The roof has a semi-conical end to the east, is hipped to the west, and gabled to the south. A diagonally-set rendered stone stack with grotesque stone masks at the corners adds character.
The lodge has an L-shaped plan with a semi-circular end on the east front. Originally, there was a porch in the southeast angle, and there is a late 20th-century outshut on the north side. The building showcases a picturesque Tudor Gothic cottage style and stands two storeys tall.
The south front features a projecting gabled wing on the left, which has a small single-light ground floor window with a hoodmould, and a larger pointed arch window with Y-tracery and casement, both with rustic stone label stops. The east wing has a moulded doorframe with a pointed open spandrel arch, a plank door with cover moulds and wrought-iron hinges, and weathering for a missing canopy. The semi-circular east end has two ground floor windows and one first floor window, all with hood moulds and rustic stone stops, featuring 3-light casements. The rear north side has a similar 2-light first floor window above the late 20th-century single storey outshut.
Inside, panelled window shutters were observed. The property also includes an ornate wrought-iron gate to the east, with gate-posts topped with crocketed pinnacles, each adorned with four small heads at the base. To the right, there are iron-rod railings with plain stanchions. Ropers Lodge is a notable example of a late Georgian Picturesque Tudor Gothic style lodge.
