Description
Flete Lodge is a Grade II* listed gateway to Flete House, designed in 1889 by J.D. Sedding in a free Tudor style. The building is constructed from local limestone rubble with granite dressings and features a scantle slate roof with granite coping on the gable ends, topped with small ball finials. It stands two storeys high, with a slated pentice canopy extending over the front and around the side, above an elliptically arched loggia on the right.
On the left, there is a square projection with a parapet, which includes a two-storeyed splayed bay with stone mullion windows and a carved coat of arms. A small oval window is set in the splay of this projection. At the centre, a large crenellated chimney stack rises from a stepped gable. Beneath the eaves on the right, there are two three-light stone mullion windows, and to the left, a doorway is set within a timber verandah that continues around the left end beneath the pentice canopy. The stone mullion windows are fitted with leaded panes, and ornate crenellated rainwater heads are present, one of which is dated 1889. At the rear, there is a small section of timber framing.
