North Lodge

North Lodge is a former lodge dating to around 1870, designed by the Honourable Mark George Kerr Rolle, originally associated with Stevenstone House. The lodge is constructed of snecked brown local stone with grey, lightly rusticated, limewashed ashlar dressings and quoins, a stone rubble stack topped with 20th-century brick, and a slate roof. It follows a T-plan, with a two-room main block facing east, one room on each side of a central entrance hall, and a single-room service block projecting at right angles to the rear. A rear lateral stack serves the front left room; other stacks are disused. The building is two storeys high.

The symmetrical three-window front features windows with pointed segmental arched heads, chamfered reveals, and projecting keystones, housing timber mullion-and-transom casements with glazing bars. First-floor windows are half dormers, gabled with ornamental shaped bargeboards and prominent apex finials and pendants. A central doorway is sheltered by an original stone porch with front and side gables, featuring similar bargeboards, with a Tudor archway on the left side and a plank door. The roof is tall and steeply pitched, gabled at each end with ornamental bargeboards. Windows are consistent with the front elevation, and the left end includes a canted bay window. The interior has not been inspected. This is a well-preserved and attractive Victorian lodge.
