Description
Black Lodge, Whitehill House is a single-storey gatelodge built in the 1830s, originally designed in a cruciform plan. It features a late 19th-century single bay wing to the north and has undergone further alterations in the late 20th century, resulting in an L-plan layout. The principal elevations are constructed of squared, coursed, polished ashlar, while the rear wing is made of random rubble with droved ashlar dressings. The building has a base course and a substantial eaves course with a mutulated cornice.
On the south elevation, there is an advanced, pedimented gable that once served as the entrance porch, now featuring a window that replaces the original door. To the left, there is another window and a modern extension at the far left, with a door and another window to the right.
The east elevation has a central, recessed tripartite window with stone mullions, along with a window in the late 19th-century recessed wing. The north elevation includes an advanced, pedimented gable chimney, with the right section being altered by the later 19th-century wing. It features an inserted narrow window and a single window in the modern extension.
The west elevation consists of a modern extension with a window in the center. The building predominantly has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, while the advanced section of the east elevation has 4-pane casement windows. The roof is piended and pitched to the pediments, covered in grey slate. There are corniced, polygonal stacks on the pedimented gable of the north elevation, as well as square-plan stacks on the north and west elevations, topped with pyramidal shallow caps and tall tapered clay cans.
The property is enclosed by a low coped random rubble boundary wall, which includes modern small gatepiers.
