Description

Doldowlod Lodge is a Jacobean style lodge built in the 17th century, featuring 1½ storeys and a basement. It is constructed of coursed rock-faced stone with freestone dressings, topped by a diagonal-pattern slate roof that is hidden behind a coped parapet. The stone stack has an octagonal freestone shaft. The lodge has a T-shaped plan, with a main east-west range and a north wing that faces the entrance.

The northwest entrance is located within a porch at the junction of the main range and the wing. It features a round-headed ribbed door set in a doorway with a keystone. The side wall facing the entrance has a narrow transomed window. The north wing includes a 3-light mullioned and transomed bay window, along with a small leaded attic window. In the eastern angle of the main range and wing, there is a square projection with narrow transomed windows, topped by a shaped gablet on the eastern side.

The main range has a 3-light mullioned and transomed window in its gable ends, as well as a narrow attic window above a string course. The western gable end also includes an inserted basement window. On the southern side, where the ground level is significantly lower, there is a replaced central window. The basement features a wide segmental-headed doorway, which has been partially infilled and now includes a modern door. To the right of this doorway is a window, while to the left is a former window with a leaded overlight that has been cut down and fitted with a boarded door.

On the northern side of the lodge, there are gateposts and a pedestrian barred gate. The building has not been inspected.
