The Lodge

The Lodge is a former east lodge to Dowdeswell Court, now functioning as a house. It was built around 1834 and features a heraldic shield of Roger's family on the parapet above the doorway. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and has a slate roof, with a rectangular main body. There is a 20th-century flat-roofed extension at the rear, which is not of special interest. The Lodge is a single-storey structure with a symmetrical three-bay facade. The central doorway, which is now blocked, has a moulded architrave and a moulded hood supported by consoles. Doric pilasters are located on either side of the doorway and at the corners of the building. Each side has a single four-pane sash window with moulded architraves and sills, also featuring consoles, and these are flanked by pilasters that extend up to a band below the cornice. The low parapet is pointed above the doorway, with the heraldic shield positioned at the center. The gable-end coping is flat. The interior has not been inspected.
