South Lodge

South Lodge is a pair of cottages, one of which now serves as the Budlake sub post office. They were built in the mid-19th century and feature cob construction with a stone plinth, rendered exteriors, and thatched roofs. Each cottage has a unique design; one has a gable-end while the other has a half-hipped roof with a hipped porch wing. The overall style reflects an informal early vernacular revival, influenced by the writings of Loudon.

The layout includes a range with a two-storey porch that is open on the ground floor, and a central cross wing opposite the porch. A late 19th-century lean-to, covered with slate, has been added to the end of the range, which houses the post office. The cottages are two storeys high and feature timber casement windows with one and two lights on each floor, each light having six panes. The open ground floor of the porch is adorned with timber lattice work. The cross wing has a polygonal window bay with fish-scale slating facing the road, featuring a pattern of windows arranged as 1:1:3:1:1, each light with three panes, and a two-light window above. The other side of the cross wing has two one and two-light windows beneath eyebrow eaves, above a weatherboarded lean-to.
