Description

This is a lodge dating from circa 1860-70, with 20th-century additions to the rear. It is situated approximately 200 metres southeast of Dartington Hall. The lodge is constructed from local grey limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and a chamfered plinth, and features Bathstone dressings. The steeply pitched slate roof has gabled ends with gableted apesees, moulded kneelers, and slate coping, along with clay ridge tiles.

The lodge has a two-room front range with a central entrance passage and porch; the larger left-hand room is heated from a front lateral stack, and includes a small service room extending to form an L-shaped plan. A slightly longer wing was added to the back of the right-hand room, likely in the 20th century. A further single-storey extension was added to the rear, spanning across the ends of both rear wings, later in the 20th century.

The design is Victorian Gothic style. The asymmetrical front has a large gable porch to the right of centre, featuring a moulded pointed arch doorway with run-out steps, a hoodmould, and a plank door. There are lancet windows with leaded panes, saddle bars, and stanchions with floral finials, either side of the porch. A single window is set in a deep, double-chamfered opening, housing a 20th-century metal-frame casement, to the right of the porch. A projecting lateral stack with set-offs and a tall shaft with a cap is situated to the left of the porch, with a small single-light casement window with glazing bars located to its left. The front elevation has no first floor windows. A ground and first floor window in the right-hand gable end has 20th-century casements in a double-chamfered stone surround. Later 20th-century windows are set into enlarged openings on the left-hand gable end and side of the rear wing, and these lack surrounds. The rear wings are gable-ended; however, only the original right-hand wing retains coping, apex, and moulded kneelers.

Inside, depressed 2-centred arch doorways lead into the two front rooms from the central passage. The left-hand room has a chamfered centring beam with stops supported on corbels. The right-hand room features exposed chamfered joists.
