Description
North Lodge at Highfield House is an earlier 19th century single-storey lodge. It features harled walls with contrasting painted ashlar margins. The building has an asymmetrical design, highlighted by an advanced, bowed northeast bay that includes a central segmental headed window and a deeply over-sailing roof. This roof is supported by four slender, painted wooden columns that are clustered together and feature decorative scissor-braced barge boards. The left bays contain a door and one window, with some lattice glazing still present in the upper light of the segmental headed window, while the other windows have 12 panes. The lodge also has small octagonal end and ridge stacks, and it is topped with a slate roof that has projecting eaves.
