Gothic-style, single-storey lodge of random masonry under a slate roof. Main E-W range with lower S wing to front, offset to L. Gabled porch in SE angle. Short N wing, with long, low service range extending N from NW angle. The W side of the lodge is contiguous with the boundary wall of the park. Tall stone ridge stacks to main range and at angle of S wing and porch, both with polygonal shafts. Further small stack to N service range. Detail includes raised copings to gables on kneelers, quoins and stone dressings. The windows are wooden lancets with ogee heads, sometimes paired, with opening lights.

The front (S) gable has paired lancets under a relieving arch. The porch to the R is slightly set back, and has a doorway with flat stone lintel and curved shoulders. The boarded door has studs and fleur-de-lis style hinges.

The main range has a gable to the W end, with paired lancets under a relieving arch. The park boundary wall extends N from the NW angle, immediately in front of the long low service wing. There are no openings in the W side of the S cross wing.

The E end of the main range is canted under a hipped roof with splayed eaves and stone copings. There is a single lancet to each face, and 1 to the E side of the N wing. The porch gable faces E and has a window of 3 ogee heads under a square hoodmould under a relieving arch, with quarry glazing. In the apex is an inset tablet with fleur-de-lis top. The E side of the long service range has a planked door to the R, and a single light window to the L. The N wing has a hipped roof.

A semi-octagonal gate pier with swept pyramidal cap is built into the SW angle of the lodge. It forms the N side of a pedestrian gateway into the park.
