Description
Keepers Lodge is a house constructed from rough red sandstone rubble, with some dressed stones, and features a Welsh slate roof. Parts of the building have been rendered and painted. The original structure is L-shaped, consisting of two storeys, a single storey, and an attic, designed in a picturesque rustic style, with 20th-century additions at the rear.
The entrance front faces east and is composed of three bays. The left bay is gabled, with the upper floor slightly projecting on stone corbels. Each floor has a three-light timber mullion-and-transom window. In the centre, there is a projecting two-storey porch featuring a 4-centred arch and a small slit window on the left return, along with a plank door. Above the porch in the gable is a replacement 2 x 2 pane casement window. To the right, there is a three-light casement window, with each light containing two panes, and a 2 x 2 pane casement window in a modern dormer above, along with a gable end stack.
On the south elevation, there is a two-storey bay with a four-light window below a tented verandah, which is supported on one timber post with lateral brackets. Above the bay, the wall is rendered with vertical timber posts and features a small 2 x 2 casement window in the gable. There is a gable stack to the left. The west gable has the upper floor corbelled similarly, with a two-light casement window. The rear wall has been altered, and there is a small additional wing with a rooflight.
The interior was not available for inspection at the time of the resurvey.
