Description
The Main Lodge, built after 1874 by George Devey, is a lodge constructed of red brick featuring large blue diaper patterns on the ground floor. The upper part is whitewashed roughcast with half-timbering and ornamental curved braces on the gables. It has tiled roofs and decorative cusped bargeboards with pendant finials. The brick chimney has two square shafts set diagonally between the left bays. The building is one storey high and consists of three bays on the east side. It has leaded casements, with the left bay featuring a three-light casement topped by a small gable. The central bay projects and has a gable overhanging a canted oriel window. There is a canted wooden porch at the angle with the right bay, which includes a half-glazed door and a flat roof. The gable end facing the road has a canted bay window with a small ornamental turned balustrade above.
