Description

The Lodge at Spott House, built around 1830, is a single-storey gate lodge with a symmetrical rectangular plan, designed in a simple Gothick style. The front is made of ashlar stone with an eaves course, while the sides are rendered and the rear is harled.

The west elevation features three bays, with a central pointed arch door that includes a fanlight and two-leaf boarded doors. The overhanging eaves are raised to create a gabled porch, and there are pointed arch windows on either side. Decorative lattice trellis panels are located at the outer angles. The north and south sides are blank, while the east elevation has a flat-roofed extension.

The front sash and case windows have a plate glass glazing pattern. The roof sweeps down on the west, north, and south sides, featuring overhanging eaves supported by timber brackets and decorative scrolled corner brackets. It is covered with grey slates and lead flashings, and there is an ashlar chimney stack at the center.

Inside, the lodge retains a range and a decorative fireplace. The gatepiers and boundary walls consist of square ashlar gatepiers capped with pyramids, accompanied by red rubble quadrants of the boundary walls.
