Lodge, now in commercial use, built in the early 19th century. It is shown on the OS maps from the 1st edition onward as a square building within an enclosure. It is a two-storey with a basement and attic, three-bay classical structure. It is near square in plan, and is constructed from stugged sandstone ashlar. There is a band course above the basement, and an eaves band course and cornice. There is a large Ionic entrance porch to the north of the east elevation, with fluted columns, a deep entablature and a four-pane rectangular fanlight surmounting the doorway. A flight of steps leads to the raised ground-floor porch. There is a canted dormer sunk into the pitch of the roof and stone-mullioned tripartite windows to the east elevation. The north elevation features a single-storey advanced wing, with slotted basement openings, key pattern timber panels and windows with plain hoodmoulds. A stone staircase on the west elevation leads to the raised ground floor, with a later steel balustrade, leading to a four-panel door that is surmounted by a large rectangular fanlight. There is a canted window to the first floor, and a canted dormer with a cill set into the pitch. There are two corniced ashlar stacks with polygonal cans to the apex, and decorative cast-iron rainwater goods. There is a coped, stugged, ashlar wall with decorative cast-iron railings around the basement to the west, extending to the north and east forming the boundary. Beyond the basement wall to the west is a coped rubble boundary wall with a brick section. A photographic survey of the site was carried out in 2012 prior to alterations to the boundary wall.
