HILDENBOROUGH     NIZELS LANE (west side) TQ 55 SW 1/162                                     The Lodge, Nizels
GV                                        II
Lodge to Nizels House (q.v.).  Circa 1840s, possibly enlarged in the late C19/early C20.  The north block is English bond brick, the south block Flemish bond; peg-tile roof with ornamental diamond patterns; 2 brick stacks.  Tudor style.
Plan and Development:  Overall T plan.  The Lodge faces south, overlooking the drive to Nizels House with a canted bay observation window.  Entrance on the east elevation.  The building consists of 2 blocks at right angles, the north block, judging from the brickwork, may be earlier; if so, the south block has been carefully designed to match it.  There is a stack at the north end of the north block and an axial stack at the junction between the north and south blocks.  There is a C20 single-storey flat-roofed addition at right angles to the north block on the west side.
Exterior:  Very unspoiled externally with curly pierced bargeboards with pendants and finials to all the gables and a complete set of C19 2-light iron casements with sexagonal panes.  2 storeys.  Asymmetrical 1:1 window south elevation, slightly projecting and gabled to the front at the left (west).  To the right there is a canted bay to the ground floor with a pyramidal roof with fish-scale tiles below a gabled dormer.  1:2 east elevation, the projecting gabled end of the south block to the left with a C20 door below a rubbed brick flat arch with a window alongside to the right.  The east front of the north block, to the right has 2 ground floor casements and a gabled dormer.  The rear (west) elevation of the north block also preserves a gabled dormer with curly bargeboards and an original window.
Interior:  Not inspected.
Group value with the gate piers and gate (q.v.) at the entrance to the drive to Nizels House.
