Description

Brown Down Lodge is a cottage, likely originally built as an estate keeper's or forester's cottage, dating from the early 19th century, with service extensions added around 1970. The building is constructed from local stone rubble, some of which is whitewashed, and features a stone rubble stack with a 19th-century brick chimney shaft, topped with a thatch roof.

The cottage has a small square plan, facing northeast towards the road, and is arranged with two rooms wide and two rooms deep, featuring a central rear lateral stack. There are doorways on the front and the right (northwest) side. It stands two storeys tall, with 20th-century service extensions to the rear and right side. The design is in the Gothick style.

The exterior showcases a symmetrical two-window front with original arch-headed windows that have Y-tracery and rectangular panes of leaded glass. The first-floor windows extend into the eaves. The central doorway features a two-centred arch head and contains a studded plank door. The roof is tall, steeply pitched, and hipped at both ends. The left (southeast) side has a two-window front with arch-headed windows similar to those on the front. On the right (northwest) side, there is a porch with a two-centred arch doorway, which is sheltered by a verandah supported by rustic timber posts. The interior has not been inspected.
