Description

Pitcox Lodge is a single-storey gate lodge built around 1865 for Biel House. It is constructed from pink sandstone rubble that is squared and snecked on the east front, with ashlar dressings and chamfered arrises.

The east elevation features a slightly advanced gabled bay on the left with a lead-roofed canted window, a bipartite window in the centre bay, and a narrow window on the outer right. There is a flat-roofed porch to the right with a decorative lintel above the doorway.

On the west elevation, there is an advanced gabled bay on the right with a single window, alongside a modern lean-to addition in the centre and left sections. The south elevation is gabled with a single window, and both the south and east gables have square, blank apex panels.

The lodge features small-pane glazing in its sash and case windows, purple slate roofing, timber eaves brackets, and leaded finials. The clustered ridge stacks are topped with moulded coping.
