Description
The Lodge at Faendre Hall is a small building designed in the Gothic Revival style. It is constructed from stone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a deep, steeply pitched roof made of shaped Welsh slates, adorned with elaborate terracotta cresting and finials. The gables have very decorative bargeboards, and the eaves are deeply overhanging and boarded. A wide stack with offsets rises from the eaves and dominates the rear elevation. The lodge is a single storey with an attic.
The windows are narrow lights set in ashlar surrounds, with some featuring shouldered heads. Most windows have two panes, with the lower opening and the upper fixed, and some include leading. The main entrance elevation faces the drive and has a gable above a single-light first-floor window to the left. At the center, there is a gabled porch with pierced side lights and Tudor-arched doorways; the inner doorway has a boarded door with very decorative hinges. To the right, there is a single-light ground floor window with a chamfered surround. The right gable end, which overlooks the lane, features a single-light window on the first floor and a two-light cross window on the ground floor. The left gable end, facing the house, has single lights on each floor.
