Description

Top Lodge is a mildly Gothic 1½-storey building made of brick with a slate roof and a central brick stack featuring three diagonally-set shafts. The lodge has a cruciform layout, with lower gabled projections on the north and south side walls. The entrance is located in the east gable end, which faces the drive leading to the main house. On the right side, there is a doorcase with panelled reveals, a panel door, and an overlight. The centre of the lower storey and attic features a wood-framed cross window. The right side wall facing the road has two similar cross windows on the left and right, a three-light window in the gabled bay, and another cross window in the attic. The rear gable end also includes a cross window.
