Description
Prebends Gate Lodge is a lodge built in the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof in the Tudor style. The lodge is one storey high and consists of three bays, with an additional bay located behind a garden wall on the left. The main block includes two stone-mullioned oriel windows with lozenge glazing bars and a central blank bay. It has a cavetto-moulded cornice and a roll-moulded parapet that runs continuously around the oriels, concealing the roof. The garden wall on the left has a stone lintel above a ledged boarded door set in a chamfered surround, with a small square window added to the left of the door and sloped coping on top. A very tall central square chimney features four conjoined square flues, and there is a boot-scraper recess next to the door.
