Lodge. C18. Red brick, Flemish bond, with Doulting stone dressings; hipped stone slate roof; brick chimney stacks. "U"-plan, 2 storeys with single storey projecting wings over basements and single bay between. Outer wings have plinths, pilasters and eaves courses in stone, with a pair of large crucuiform casement windows with leaded lights in plain ashlar surrounds; between these wings a C20 porch with plain clay tile roof and plain door; above an hexagonal window surround to a small 2-light casement. Matching windows to sides with dormers above; to rear C20 addition. Unusual type not explained - an inn, "The Bear" existed in 1749 ceased by 1798, but was probably on site of property opposite (not listed); it might be an estate building of Redlynch (qv), and as such a design by Nathaniel Ireson.
