Description

North Lodge, also known as Glanusk Lodge, is a picturesque Gothic style building dating from the 19th century. It is two storeys high and features a main range with a right wing and a porch on the left, both of which are set back. Behind the wing is a lower projection with a lean-to situated behind the main range. The main elevations are constructed of coursed, rock-faced sandstone, and the roof is covered with slate, featuring a half hip and cusped barge boards on the main range at the front, along with a later brick ridge stack on the wing.

At the front, the main range includes a three-light mullioned-and-transomed window in a canted bay, with a two-light casement window beneath a hood mould above. The wing contains three-light mullioned windows, which also have hood moulds on the lower storey. The porch is notable for its elliptical archways under hood moulds on three sides, supported by columns carved from single blocks. Above the porch entrance is a dragon depicted in a shield, and the gable features cusped barge boards. Inside the porch, there is a rib vault. The original front door has been converted into a window, and the main entrance is now located in the lean-to behind.

The wing has a roughcast gable end with an inserted window on the lower storey and a 12-pane horned sash window above. The rear projection is built into the bank, has a half-hipped roof, and features a two-light casement window at the rear above the bank. The rear wall of the main range is made of rubble stone and includes a cross window in a brick surround above the lean-to. The building was not inspected at the time of the survey in August 1997.
