Higher Lodge

Higher Lodge is a lodge built in the early 19th century. It features plastered walls, primarily constructed as mass walls, with an oversailing front that is timber-framed. The lodge has a red brick chimney shaft and a thatched roof.

The building has a small two-room plan with a central axial stack. The main front faces northwest towards the drive and includes the main doorway, which is situated in a verandah beneath the oversailing first floor. The exterior is designed in a picturesque cottage ornee style and stands two storeys tall. The ground floor has a verandah supported by full-height tree trunk posts and consists of five bays. The front has a two-window layout, with the doorway on the left featuring an early 20th-century partly glazed door. To the right is a casement window, and both first-floor doorways have triangular heads that rise into the eaves. The front windows are adorned with diamond lights of leaded glass. The roof is hipped at the front and half-hipped at the rear, with plain casement windows on the other sides and a 20th-century service lean-to at the back.

Higher Lodge is part of a particularly picturesque group of listed buildings associated with Cockington Court, the landscaped park, and the unspoilt adjacent village.
