Lodge consists of 2 blocks; a small square building fronting
the road and a slightly larger oblong range at the rear,
linked by an entrance porch.
Front block 2-storeyed; rear block single-storeyed with
garret. Windows have moulded-stone surrounds, the larger ones
with stone mullions and hoodmoulds. Above the 2 main
