Description
Eastbrook Lodge is a lodge with stables, a carriage house, and an archway leading to the stable yard of Eastbrook House, which is not included in this listing. The building dates from around 1850 and was converted in the late 20th century, possibly by C. E. Giles. It is constructed of chert random rubble with ham stone dressing, grey limestone quoins and gables, and features decorative clay tiles, ridge tiles, and bargeboards on the dormers. The eaves overhang, and there are a pair of brick stacks set in from the gable end on the right of the lodge, along with an additional 20th-century stack.
The lodge is designed in a Gothic style reminiscent of the 14th century and has one and a half storeys. The lodge has a layout that forms an L shape, with the stables set back slightly and the carriage house opposite. The lodge has two bays on the front and the stables have three bays. All windows are pointed lancet style with plate glass, and the lodge features two irregularly sized gables. The openings include two-light windows marking the carriageway and pedestrian entrances, with corbelled continuous hoodmoulds chamfered in two orders that die into imposts on the left. There are similar chamfered arch openings, with a first-floor left gabled top to a two-light window and a three-light window below.
The stable range on the right has a gabled mullioned and transomed window that breaks through the eaves on the left, and there are three gabled dormers in the roof space on the right. The ground floor has five irregularly placed paired lancets with a boarded opening at the end bay on the right. There are two original wooden gateways, three groin vaults at the pedestrian entrance, and a barrel vault at the carriageway. To the right, a wall features a buttressed arched opening chamfered in two orders, with a gable that is splayed out. The courtyard building has been extensively altered in the late 20th century but these changes are not visible from the road. Eastbrook Lodge occupies a prominent position on the road and forms a cohesive group with the nearby buildings at Nos. 57 and 59 opposite.
