Lodge, Cawder Park, Cadder

Cawder Park Lodge, designed by David Hamilton in the early 19th century, is a single-storey, three-bay gate lodge with an irregular plan and a low, semi-octagonal block at the southeast corner. It features a small entrance porch on the west side and is constructed from large, coursed sandstone ashlar blocks with thin mortar courses, while the rear is made of squared, roughly coursed rubble. The front and side openings have ogee-moulded architraves and moulded stone cills, and there is an ashlar base course. The prominent overhanging eaves are supported by long, consoled timber brackets that return to plain barge boards above the wallhead, which were remodeled in the late 20th century.

On the southeast elevation, there are three bays, with an advanced central section that includes a large window supported by small moulded corbelled brackets at the cill. A thin banded cornice runs along the windowhead. To the right, there is a recessed pitch-roofed porch with a segmental arch doorway and a timber panelled door. The low semi-octagonal section to the left has a square window.

The west elevation has four bays arranged in a 1-3 configuration, with the left bay set higher than the three-sided semi-octagonal section on the right. A large square window is present in the left block, while the outer bays of the semi-octagonal section feature segmental-arched windows that retain their original glazing panes, which are painted white. The central bay has a small square window, and there is timber boarding infill between the two eaves levels.

The north elevation consists of two bays, with a window and doorway off-centre to the left, both having painted strip margins and plain architraves.

On the east elevation, there are four bays, with an advanced gabled porch at the penultimate bay on the left. The centre features a pointed-arched opening with ogee-moulded margins and a thick pointed hoodmould. To the far left, there is a rectangular opening with label hoodmoulding, and two windows are located to the right.

Access to the interior was not obtained in 2004. The lodge mainly features PVCu lying-pane windows, alongside two original timber-framed windows with three and five lying panes that have been painted over. There is a three-panel wooden door, piended roofs on the main blocks, and a pitched roof on the porch, all covered with grey slates. The building has two pairs of tall, octagonal ashlar stacks with rectangular plinths and projecting octagonal cornices topped with domical caps, as well as circular clay cans, one of which is capped.
