Description
The Lodge is a Grade II listed building constructed from multi-coloured stone, featuring some lias banding, Radyr stone, and black brick dressings, topped with a banded tile roof. It is two storeys high and consists of a three-bay range, accompanied by a contemporary rear service wing and a late 20th-century single-storey extension. The building exhibits a 17th-century gabled style, which is commonly seen in mid-19th-century rectories.
The main elevation showcases a central door flanked by French windows, all of which are sheltered beneath a continuous tiled verandah supported by timber brackets positioned between stone buttress projections at either end. On the first floor, there are smaller gables on either side of a larger central gable. The outer gables feature timber mullion-and-transom windows, while the center has paired windows with a masonry mullion in between. The steep gables are adorned with fretted bargeboards, and the steeply pitched main roof is fitted with three diamond-set stacks, each with two flues.
The rear elevation includes a 20th-century brick extension to the left, alongside the original shallower gabled service wing located in the center and to the right. This service wing has additional stacks, one where it connects to the main range and another on the gable end. There is also a low single-storey projecting wing with a metal tripartite casement.
The interior has not been inspected but is reported to feature an impressive top-lit stair hall with cusped timber arcading and a stair balustrade and gallery decorated with pierced quatrefoils and discs.
