Description

Berkley Lodge is a mid-18th century lodge associated with Berkley House. It is built from coursed rubble Doulting stone, featuring Doulting stone ashlar quoins. The roof is hipped and covered with slate, having lead-covered ridges and a central brick stack that is placed diagonally, with two diagonally set brick flues. The building is two stories high and has a central entrance door located under a porch that has a hipped slate roof and lead-covered ridges, supported by a timber post in a cottage orné style.

At the rear, there is a single-storey outshut made of random rubble Doulting stone, also with a slate roof and stone copings. The front facing the drive has three windows, which are generally 19th-century casement windows with horizontal glazing bars. Above the entrance, there is a pointed arch window, and a similar window opening with "Y" tracery is found in the end wall. Both have ashlar jambs, stone lintels, and timber cills. The door is set in a pointed arch and is vertically boarded with studs and iron furniture. There is a modest ground floor extension to the west that has limited impact on the overall structure.
