Lower Lodge

Lower Lodge is an early to mid-19th century lodge built of local stone rubble with red sandstone quoins and Bathstone detailing, featuring a gabled slate roof. It is terraced into a hillslope, with a sunken drive leading to Cockington Court and a lane passing behind. The lodge's design incorporates a basic one-room plan on each side of the drive, with these sections projecting as crosswings in front of the main block, which links the wings over the carriageway entrance. Projecting gable-end stacks, along with a smaller lateral stack to the left of the carriageway, are present.

The architectural style is Tudor Gothic. The two-storey front is nearly symmetrical, with gabled projections on each side of the carriageway featuring kneelers and coping. These projections contain Tudor-style stone-mullioned windows with iron glazing bars and saddlebars in front of diamond panes of leaded glass. A similar window is found in a gabled half-dormer that corbels out over the carriageway. A weathered buttress is positioned to the right of the carriageway, and a stack to the left. The carriageway arch is round-headed with a projecting keystone. Original timber gates with decorative ferramenta are present. Located inside the carriageway, the right wall includes a slit window in front of the gates and a round-headed doorway containing an original door to the rear; a similar doorway is located within the left projecting front bay's inner reveal. A small niche is incorporated into the left wall of the carriageway. The main roof is a lean-to against the wall of the raised lane. A round-headed niche is incorporated into the right-end stack. The interior was not inspected. Lower Lodge is one of a group of attractive buildings associated with Cockington Court, its landscaped grounds, and the adjacent village.
