Description
West Lodge is a lodge for Harperley Hall, built around 1820, with a porch added in the mid-19th century. The building is rendered and features painted ashlar dressings, a Welsh slate roof with fishscale tiles over the porch, and yellow brick chimneys. It has an L-plan layout and is a single storey with two windows facing the road. There is a renewed door on the left and paired casements with lattice glazing set in a lozenge-headed raised stone surround. The projecting right bay has a similar window flanked by canted corners. The left bay of the main range has similarly shaped ends, while the right bay contains a steeply-pitched porch that faces the drive. The porch features a partly-glazed door with chamfered panels under a flat stone lintel. Its walls, which have steeply-sloped coping, support chamfered posts of a boarded gable. The low-pitched roof is hipped over all three canted ends and has ridge chimneys with yellow pots.
