Lodge, Laws House

The Lodge at Laws House, built around 1836, is a single-storey structure designed in an irregular plan and styled in the Elizabethan manner. It features cherry-cocked masonry and a slate roof, complemented by skew gables with stepped copes, a gablet, skew ends, and scroll apex stones.

On the south elevation, the lodge has three bays, with the center bay advanced and containing a single-pane window with chamfered and painted margins, along with a rounded gun-slit in the gable. There is a door on the west return, also with chamfered and shouldered margins. The flanking bays each have 2-light windows with chamfered and shouldered margins, moulded mullions, and 6 lying-pane sash and case glazing on the east side, while the west side has fixed glazing. A central ridge stack features two square, corniced angle stalks.

The east elevation is harled and includes a central 2-light window. To the right, there is a later square-plan addition, also harled, with a pyramidal roof and a corner angle wallhead stack.

The west elevation presents a blank gable showcasing fine cherry-cocked masonry, with a later addition stepped back at the northwest corner.

The north elevation consists of four irregular bays, with two central bays made of stone and featuring a piend roof, which is likely original. The flanking square-plan bays have pyramidal roofs, all designed in a sympathetic style.

At the north, there are two square-plan gatepiers made of rusticated ashlar with caps.
