Description
Lower Lodge to Copse Hill is a lodge built around 1878, designed by architect C. F. Hayward for railway millionaire H. A. Brassey. The building features rough-faced rubble construction and concrete tile roofs, with coped verges adorned with ball finials, kneelers, and corbels. It has a large ashlar off-ridge stack and an asymmetrical plan in a fanciful Jacobean style. The lodge is 1½ storeys high and consists of two bays on the south-east side. To the left, there is a projecting lower angled turret with a hipped roof, which is connected by a ground floor lobby to an arched entrance set diagonally on the corner, above which is Brassey's motto. The return to the drive includes a triangular bay window on the ground floor and a shallow rectangular bay above with three lights, where the center light is blind for the finial of the ground floor bay. The windows are casement style.
