Description
West Lodge is a small lodge built in the Tudor Gothic style, dating from the 19th century. It has an L-shaped plan with gables on the south and east sides, and an additional lower wing to the west. The front of the lodge faces the road to the south. It is constructed from roughly coursed masonry and features a steeply pitched tiled roof. The main L-shaped section has half-hipped roofs and decorative openwork barge-boards. At the south gable end, there is a rendered stack with three diagonally-set shafts.
In the angle of the L-shaped range, facing south, is a ribbed and panelled front door with a 4-centred head, which is topped by a hoodmould. The roof pitches extend down to create a porch canopy and a covered walkway, with the projecting eaves supported by timber posts. Most windows are set beneath pronounced hoodmoulds of two orders and have moulded wooden frames. The south gable end, which faces the road, features a 2-light casement window on each storey, complete with a stone lintel and sill. The east gable end, which faces the park driveway, has a canted bay window with a transom beneath a hipped roof and a chamfered sill, along with a 2-light casement window above it and another to the south. To the rear is a staircase projection with a lean-to roof.
The lower west wing lacks a hipped roof but has decorative barge boards, and its stonework suggests it is a later addition. The west gable has a 4-pane sash window in the upper storey under a hoodmould, and a 20th-century paned window below with a concrete lintel. At the rear (north), there is a small 4-pane window that may have replaced a door, along with a 20th-century white brick stack rising from the eaves. In front (south), there is a lean-to range featuring a 2-light casement window and a planked door on the west side.
The kitchen is located in the west range and is accessed through the front lean-to. A kitchen stove is connected to the 20th-century ridge stack. Steps lead up to the reception rooms in the east and south ranges, which are separated by a fireplace wall. The staircase is situated in the northwest corner of the east range, projecting into the outshut.
