Lodge extended to E in matching style. Plum brick with blue headers, sandstone blocks incorporated in gate piers, and moulded stucco window dressings. E extension in plum brick with band of black brick at base. Steep red tile roofs. Boarded doors between gate piers.

The lodge has moulded gable parapets, large internal chimney with 4 diagonally set square shafts with corbelled heads, 4-centred Tudor arch in plaster to single-storey gabled porch on W outside park. Canted stone bay window on N side within park. Extension in form of 2-storeys crosswing with matching moulded gable parapets and lower gabled parts projecting on E behind garden wall. Transomed windows in stucco with chamfered and ovolo-moulded frames, and metal opening lights. Earlier parts have moulded stone gutters ending as gargoyles at gable parapets. Depressed 2-centred pointed stone arch to side gate with characteristic impost blocks of 3 stepped projections to side. Each gatepier formed of a taller rectangular brick pier 'rusticated' by projecting narrower brick course every 5th course in height, and with massive sandstone block at base and near top, rock faced with drafted margins. Deep coved overhang to capping stone in Egyptian manner. Lower brick supporting pier to outside with blind half-arch between.
