Description

Deputies Lodge is a rectangular, four-bay, one-storey brick building constructed in several phases. The south-west elevation features two large rectangular windows and a small window in its extension, topped with a slate roof and a yellow brick chimney stack. The south-east half of the building has a deeply overhanging corrugated-iron roof supported by cast-iron columns.

Inside, the north-west room includes a fireplace and a built-in cupboard. The middle room, known as the 'Sick Room', is equipped with a Belfast sink. The south-east room, referred to as the 'Under Managers Office', retains its wooden desk.
