Description
Brickyard Lodge is a lodge built around 1800, constructed from coursed squared limestone with limestone dressings and some ashlar. The roof is made of lead and plain tiles, with stone stacks inside. The building has a two-unit plan and stands two stories tall with a two-window range. It features two-light leaded windows on both the ground and first floors, which have ovolo-moulded stone mullions, arched heads, pierced central spandrels, and moulded rectangular stone surrounds.
The left end elevation, which faces the former drive, is ashlar-faced and includes a two-story canted bay with similar windows. The entrance is located at the rear and consists of a moulded Tudor-arched doorway with cut spandrels in a rectangular stone surround. The lodge has a plinth, a storey band, a moulded stone cornice, and a plain stone-coped parapet that conceals the roof. The stacks have paired dressed stone flues topped with moulded cornices.
There is also a lower two-story, one-window 19th-century extension on the right end. Inside, the sitting room features a bay window facing the drive, along with panelling and a bolection-moulded stone chimney piece, which is said to have been removed from Easton Maudit House, a building that was demolished in 1801 when the estate was acquired by the Comptons.
