Lodge to Danemore Park. Circa 1860 with C20 rear extensions. Local sandstone ashlar to the ground floor, first floor plastered with sgraffito decoration; peg-tile roof; stacks with rendered chimney-shafts. Idiosyncratic Tudor style.
Plan: The Lodge faces north north east, say north, overlooking the drive to Danemore Park, the east end fronting Langton Road. Single depth 2-room plan with an axial stack to left of centre and a right end stack. Approximately central entrance on the north side.
Exterior: Single-storey and attic. Asymmetrical 2-window front; roof half- hipped at ends. A tall chamfered plinth in the masonry of the front wall rises to form the hoodmoulds of the 2 ground floor windows. Timber fascia at attic floor level. Eaves brackets spring from this level, supporting deep sprocketted eaves, with sgraffito panels between the brackets. Coped gabled projecting stone porch in the centre with a 2-centred outer arch with a projecting oval plaque over. Original panelled front door with diagonal boards. The ground floor windows are transomed casements. The sgraffito decoration is arranged as a blind arcade of pointed arches decorated with bands of lozenges, zig-zags, chevrons, scallops etc. The spandrels of the arches are decorated with black polished hemispheres, set in the plaster. Hipped dormer to right of centre with an original transomed window; C20 attic dormer to left of centre. The left (east) return, overlooking the road, is tile-hung below the half-hip. 3-light transomed ground floor window; similar 2-light attic window. The sgraffito decoration extends round the east return. The right (west) return prominent from the drive from Danemore Place, has an elaborately-treated stack: narrow at ground floor level and corbelled out to a wider shaft above. The sgraffito decoration on this elevation is mare elaborate with circle motifs on either side of the stack. The rear elevation of the original phase is concealed by the C20 extension.
Interior: Not inspected at time of survey but may retain features of interest.
