Description
White Down Lodge is a lodge house dating from 1834. It was built of local stone rubble with ashlar dressings, and features a hipped, clay tiled roof with two intermediate chimney stacks of paired barley-sugar-twist flues. The building is single-storey with an attic and has three bays. The first bay has a four-light, hollow-chamfered mullioned window with a label; the third bay has a matching window with a 1+3+1 light arrangement. Dormers with three-light casement windows are situated above both bays, all windows exhibiting cast-iron diamond lattice glazing. The second bay has a cambered-arched door accompanied by single-light sidelights, all beneath a shared stepped label. Matching 1+2+1 bay windows are present on the end walls. The interior remains uninspected. The lodge was erected in 1834 when almost the entire parish was emparked by the owners of Cricket House.
