Each gable end has canted bay window.
Single storey. Each wing of the cross has a gable end with stone coping, a ball

over the bay window has stone coping, ball finial, moulded corbelled kneelers and
oval oculus with hood-mould. All the window have original patterned leaded glass

Interior very complete and unaltered including fine hammer beam roof (cf. Church of

estate business meetings).
Gate-piers are rockfaced ashlar, square-on-plan, with dressed granite pyramidal caps
surmounted by ball finials.
A remarkably complete Victorian lodge with some good quality details including the
glazing and roof structure which are particularly notable.
