Both are small, square, single storey buildings which sit almost to the back-of-pavement. They have pyramidal roofs, large chamfered quoins and small green front gardens. Rosedale has round-headed window and door openings, Hawthorn's are flat. The lodges retain a great deal of charm but have concrete roof tiles, uPVC windows, modern garages and painted masonry.
