Description
Spitchwick Lower Lodges are a pair of lodges built around 1800, with some additions made later. They are constructed from stone rubble and topped with slated roofs. Each main lodge features a pyramidal roof with a small rendered chimneystack at the top and deep coved eaves. The flanking wings have pent roofs, and there is an additional building with a pyramidal roof at the left end, which was added in the 20th century. The lodges are single-storey structures, each with a large round-headed window on the front wall. This window contains a two-light wood casement with glazing bars, and the heads of the lights form pointed arches. There is a low guard-rail in front of each lodge. The wings each have a three-light wood casement window with glazing bars. The interiors have not been inspected.
