Description
Lower Lodge, also known as Wraxall Lodge, is a country house lodge dating from the 1860s. It is constructed of coursed limestone with stone dressings and has a steeply-pitched clay tile roof with decorative bands of shaped tiles. The roof features half-hipped gables with pierced and cusped barge boards, and stone stacks with yellow clay pots.
The building’s plan is cruciform, with an entrance porch at the west end. It is built in the High Victorian Gothic style. The north side, facing the drive, has a half-hipped gable with pierced and cusped barge boards and a three-light window with a stepped head under a relieving arch. The roof of the main range extends over a bay window to the right. The west gable features a porch with a steep hipped roof, splayed corners with corbels, and four-centred arch doorways on the front and north sides. Small lancet windows are located on the south side of the porch. The south side, facing the road, has a lateral stack on the left and a wing to the right with a half-hipped gable featuring cusped and pierced barge boards. A similar gable is present at the east end. The interior has not been inspected. Wraxall Lodge is one of a group of Victorian lodges located at Tyntesfield.
