Description

The lodge, located 80 metres north of the engine house at Dalton Pumping Station, dates from the late 19th century. It is constructed of brick with sandstone dressings and has Welsh slate roofs. The building is two storeys high and features three windows. It has an L-shaped design with a projecting gabled bay on the right side.

On the ground floor, there are two-light windows set in pointed arches, each with hoodmoulds. A wooden frame porch, supported on mid-wall brackets, is located in the re-entrant angle, featuring a 20th-century glazed door. The first floor includes windows with two lights and round-arched heads, one of which is in a half dormer. The eaves cornice is dentilled, and the gables are stone-coped with iron finials. There are projecting external stacks on the right return and rear of the building. An enclosed rear yard is surrounded by a buttressed brick wall with chamfered stone coping. This lodge is included for its group value.
