Description

This is a two-storey Tudor-style lodge, likely dating to the 18th century, situated alongside a wall and gatepiers. The lodge has a rectangular shape and is constructed with a ground floor of rough-dressed, snecked slatestone and an upper storey featuring faux decorative timber framing. It has a steeply-pitched tiled roof with oversailing eaves and verges, adorned with decorative wooden pendant finials; the finial to the front gable is missing a section. A central chimney rises with paired red brick stacks, set upon a rectangular stone base. The ground floor features a double-chamfered plinth, while the upper floor rests upon a moulded sill.

The drive-facing side of the lodge has an off-centre, single-storey bay window on the left. This bay window has a tiled canopy roof supported by curved, chamfered brackets and chamfered, small, rectangular lights with octagonal leading. A similar window is located to the right. The front (east) gable contains an entrance to the right, raised behind four steps and leading to a boarded door. This entrance is sheltered by a gabled open porch with shaped, flat, pierced balusters on the narrow sides; the porch has an ogee-chamfered, depressed, Tudor-arched tie beam with a king post and curved braces. Wooden cross windows are visible to the left of the entrance and in the centre of the first floor, the latter slightly projecting as a shallow rectangular oriel with a corbelled sill and sloped lintel. A three-light window is located on the first floor of the rear (west) gable, featuring geometric leaded casements. Decorative framing, painted, is applied to this gable end, along with timbering to the remainder. The road-facing (south) elevation exhibits a central oriel window on the first floor, within a large gabled dormer topped with a finial. Plain-glazed, two-light windows are situated on either side of this oriel on the ground floor.

A single-storey addition, constructed of rough-dressed rubble with a shallow mono-pitch felt roof and skylights, adjoins the east gable end and runs flush to the south. This addition has modern windows on the north (drive side) and a multi-pane window on the south (road side), as well as an entrance on the east side.

An adjoining rubble wall with rough slatestone copings curves around to the north in a short arc, extending from the east gable end of the lodge. This wall, which is older than the lodge and belonged to the former Crogen Hall park wall, is marked by a pair of 17th-century squat, square gatepiers at the eastern drive entrance. The wall varies in height between 1.2 and 1.7 meters. The gatepiers are constructed of rough-dressed, coursed slatestone blocks, standing approximately 2 meters high and topped with shallow pyramidal cappings and sandstone ball finials. A late 19th-century X-braced wooden gate, with a stopped-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, hangs between the gatepiers.
