Description
River Lodge is a lodge dated 1840, built from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and featuring a fishscale tile roof with painted shaped barge boards and an integral end stack. It is designed in the Tudor Gothic style and consists of a single cell front range with two rear ranges. The building has one storey and a gable-lit attic, with two windows that are cross windows featuring chamfered mullions and transoms, a rebated surround, and returned hood moulds. The central doorway has a cambered lintel and sunken spandrels. There is a ground floor canted bay window on the south gable with transomed lights, and above it, a two-light mullioned attic window with a returned hood mould. An inscription above the door reads: "The first stone of River Lodge was laid / on the 6th of May 1840 / BY JEMMA COUNTESS OF MONTGELAS."
