Description
The Front Lodge is a building in the Tudor-Gothic Revival style, constructed with pebbledash and brick, featuring stone and painted stone dressings, and topped with a slate roof that has a central cruciform brick chimney. It is two stories high and has a cruciform plan, with gabled elevations on all four sides. Each gable is adorned with pierced timber barge-boards, cusped collar-beams, and finials. The elevation facing the road includes a mullioned and transomed bay window with a crenellated top, as well as a central mullioned and transomed window on the first floor. There is a later 20th-century extension on the right-hand side. The return elevations maintain a similar design, with the left-hand elevation featuring an arched entrance with a boarded door.
