Description

The Lower Lodge is a lodge house for an estate, built in 1865. It is constructed from local stone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a plain clay tiled roof adorned with bands of scallop tiles and ornamental clay ridge tiles, as well as overhanging verges and an ashlar stone triple chimney stack. The building is designed in a picturesque Tudor Gothic style.

The exterior is single storey and consists of two bays, with the first bay projecting as a gable. This projection includes an angled bay window with one central light and three lights on each side, all pointed arched and set beneath a hipped tiled roof. Above the window, in the gable, is a plaque featuring a heraldic device and the date. The second bay contains the entrance, which is sheltered by a lean-to roof supported by a timber corner post. The door is protected by a 20th-century timber enclosure beneath the porch roof. To the right of the door is a small quatrefoil window, and there is a similar quatrefoil window set high in the east gable.

The interior has not been inspected. The Lower Lodge is noted as a complete example of the picturesque Tudor Gothic style.
