Description
South Lodge at Whittingehame House, designed by William Burn in 1844, is a single-storey and attic lodge with an asymmetrical design. It is constructed from squared and snecked, stugged red sandstone, featuring droved ashlar dressings and a base course, along with chamfered reveals. The eaves are overhanging and supported by timber brackets.
On the west elevation, there is an advanced bay off-centre to the right, which includes a canted, stone-roofed window at ground level and a timber mullioned bipartite window above. The doorway is located in the re-entrant angle to the left, featuring a boarded door with decorative hinges. To the outer left, there is a stone mullioned tripartite window. The outer right has a recessed bay with a stone seat set in a blind recess.
The south elevation showcases an advanced gabled bay to the left, which contains a single floor window and a small attic window. A round-arched timber dovecot is suspended between these windows. There is also a window in a recessed bay to the right. At the rear, there is a modern addition and an earlier addition that has been harled. The sash and case windows feature small-pane and lying-pane glazing patterns. The roof is covered with large grey slates, with the largest slates found on the south gable. Ashlar coped stacks with original cans are retained.
