Description

The Lodge at the Trefoil Centre, built around 1868, is a single-storey, three-bay rectangular structure with a lower recessed bay on the outer left. It is constructed from stugged, squared, and snecked honey-coloured sandstone, featuring a base course and overhanging bracketed eaves.

On the east elevation, there is a central four-panelled door with a three-pane fanlight above it. To the outer right, there is a bipartite window, while a tripartite window is located to the left. The outer left bay has another bipartite window. The windows have five-pane, lying-pane glazing, and the building is topped with sandstone corniced ridge stacks and a grey slate roof.

The boundary wall surrounding the lodge is made of rubble with a semi-circular coping.
