Branas Lodge

Branas Lodge is a two-storey, two-window house, with a later rear wing to the north, dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of random stone with quoins, partly rendered, under a shallow hipped slate roof with wide boarded eaves, featuring a central yellow brick ridge stack. The tall, round-arched, two-light wooden windows have gothic glazing, some of which has been renewed, incorporating stone voussoirs. The main entrance front faces east; the garden fronts are to the south and west.

The east side has a two-light window to the right of the lower storey, the square-headed lights containing stained glass, and two small cruciform windows to the upper storey. A lean-to porch is situated against the rear wing, supported on two posts; the left bay is glazed and houses a half-glazed boarded door. Inside the porch, a panelled door to the left leads into the main range. Within the central open bay of the porch is a three-light window under a round arch. Above the porch, to the left, is a cruciform window, likely a stairlight.

The south garden front is partly rendered and features a canted bay window to the right with a hipped rooflet and brick base, containing a horned sash with Y-tracery. A casement window sits above, with trefoil-headed lights. The windows to the left have Y-tracery, with a horned sash above a replaced casement window.

The west garden front, predominantly rendered, is three windows wide, with the rear wing continuous with the main block. A canted bay to the right has a hipped rooflet and contains French doors; the arch above has intersecting glazing, and the side lights feature Y-tracery. A two-light casement window is positioned centrally, and a later window opening is to the left, featuring a segmental brick head and 20th-century glazing. To the upper storey, the window above the canted bay has lights with cusped heads; the central window has trefoil-headed arches, and the window to the left has a segmental head, mirroring the design below. The rear of the wing has a 20th-century lean-to.

Adjoining the east side of the house are former farm ranges, now used as garden buildings. A tall boundary wall of rubble stone, with a string course and parapets, is attached to the porch, incorporating a small round-arched window offset to the right. It forms the south side of a single-pitched range, which is linked to a gabled building at right angles, originally a granary and now used as a garage. The west side features steps leading to a first-floor doorway to the left and a small chimney stack to the right; the south gable end has a round-arched opening and a circular vent to the apex. Two wide bays are present on the east side, with two round-arched openings above.

No access to the interior was possible at the time of inspection.
