Cotham Lodge

Cotham Lodge is a small country house built in the mid-19th century. It features whitewashed roughcast rubble stone and a red plain tile roof with whitewashed stone end stacks. The house is two stories with an attic and has a three-windowed north front. The upper floor has hornless 12-pane sash windows, while the ground floor has two large canted bay windows beneath a tent-roofed verandah. The left bay is narrower with an 8-12-8-pane configuration, and the right bay has an 8-16-8-pane arrangement, with one of the side-lights serving as a door. There is internal evidence of a former central door.

The verandah, which is five bays wide, sits on a slate-paved rubble base and is supported by octagonal timber posts with large cusped braces reaching up to the eaves, which are adorned with fretted timber eaves boards. The east end wall features a 12-pane sash window on each floor and in the attic. The west end wall has a round arched doorway with a six-panel door and a radiating bar fanlight. The ground and first floors on the left side have a narrow late 19th-century 8-pane sash window, and there is a central 12-pane attic sash window.

At the rear, there is a large two-and-a-half-storey wing in the center of the rear wall, with a one-window range on each side. To the left of the wing, there is a French window with a 12-pane sash above, and to the right, a 12-pane hornless sash with a 20th-century triple casement above. The rear wing also features a large arched stairlight on the east side and a 12-pane sash window on the first floor to the left. A ground floor door is located in the angle, with a later lean-to that was demolished in 1990. The south end is constructed of whitewashed rubble stone and has an end stack along with two attic windows. The west side has two 12-pane sashes above and one single and one pair of varied-sized windows below.

Inside, the ground floor northwest and northeast rooms have mid to late 19th-century plaster cornices. The northeast room contains a colored marble fireplace dating from around 1800, which is not original to the house. The staircase is a dog-leg design with stick balusters.
