HILDENBOROUGH NOBLE TREE ROAD (south side) TQ 54 NE 5/178 Mountains Lodge GV II Lodge to Mountains (q.v.). Probably 1865, contemporary with the house, and probably designed by G. Somers Clarke. English bond brick with blue diapering, the first floor tile-hung with bands of scalloped tiles; peg-tile roof with ornamental ridge tiles; brick stack; Tudor style. Plan: Sited inside the gate piers of Mountains and associated with a stable yard (q.v.). The Lodge faces east, overlooking the drive to the house. 2 rooms wide, with a central entrance, probably facing a stair, with a rear right service outshut, all the rooms apparently served from one rear lateral stack. Exterior: 2 storeys. Roof half-hipped at the right end, gabled at the left end. Originally symmetrical 3-bay front elevation, the first floor jettied out on curved brackets with a moulded jetty beam, the centre bay projecting and gabled to the front on the first floor with an open porch below. The gable, which is treated in imitation of timber-framing, has curly bargeboards with pierced roundels. The porch has chamfered stopped posts, moulded caps, a Tudor arched lintel and original tiling. Ground floor window right is original, a deeply recessed 2-light casement with a brick mullion and stone lintel. The left hand ground floor window has been replaced in the C20 by a canted brick bay glazed with small-pane casements. One 1-light original window in the centre bay, the rest of the first floor is blind. The left (south) return has pierced bargeboards and a 2-light C19 casement. The rear elevation has a lateral stack with 3 brick shafts with corbelled coping. The service outshut is diapered with 4-pane C19 sashes with stone lintels. The outshut appears to have been extended. Interior: Not inspected but may retain original features of interest. Low iron railings to the garden in front of the Lodge and a section of diapered brick wall adjoining the south end are included in the listing. A very nicely-detailed Tudor style lodge. Group value with the stable buildings, gate piers and gate and Mountains. Listing NGR: TQ5616248879
