The Lodge Cottage

The Lodge Cottage is a lodge built for Wittington, constructed around 1898 to 1909 by Sir Reginald Blomfield for Hudson Ewbanke Kearley. It features red brick with chamfered quoins made of Ham stone, and has moulded wooden eaves. The roof is covered with Westmorland slate. The wooden mouldings extend around the gables to create steep pediments, which include flint and stone chequers, and there is whitewashed roughcast above the windows. The building has two brick chimneys and is designed in an L-plan, consisting of one storey and an attic. The gable ends facing the road and drive have three-light leaded casement windows with gauged brick heads and stone keyblocks on the ground floor. The upper windows are also leaded, featuring moulded wooden cornices, with the northern window having four lights and an arched cornice over the two central lights. The right side of the northern wing includes a recessed porch with a half-glazed door, while there is a single light in the northern wall of the southern wing.
