Description

The north-west lodge of Firle Place is an early 19th-century building that stands two storeys tall and features three windows. It is constructed of white brick and has a hipped roof made of Horsham slabs, which includes five "eyebrows" over the blunt ogee-headed windows on the first floor. The windows are casement style with small square leaded panes. The north, south, and east fronts of the lodge have a ground floor veranda supported by wooden columns, which also holds a canopy of Horsham slabs.
