Description

Willett Lodge is a lodge to Willett House, built around 1820, and is probably designed by Richard Carver. The building features colour washed roughcast over rubble and has hipped slate roofs with overhanging eaves and rendered stacks on the right and left sides. It is a double pile structure with a single storey. The lodge includes canted bays that have single light outer casements and 2-light centre casements, which are linked by an entrance wall. The casements are adorned with arched marginal glazing bars, and there are 20th-century glazed doors with sidelights.
