Description

The East and West Lodges at the entrance to Tunstall Court, built around 1890 and possibly designed by T. Lewis Banks from London, are a pair of single-storey lodges located on either side of the driveway. Constructed from brick with sandstone ashlar dressings, they feature hipped and gabled roofs made of Welsh slate, adorned with pierced crestings on the clay ridge tiles, terracotta urn finials, and ridge stacks.

The main fronts of the lodges face the driveway and each has a five-panelled door beneath a fanlight, set within a projecting ashlar porch that has a two-bay arcade and is topped with a triangular pedimented gable. The round arches of the porch spring from a quasi-Ionic centre pier and simple square angle piers. There is a balustrade at the front and on the south return, along with a circular window with glazing bars in the tympanum of the pediment. To the south of the porch, there is an early to mid-20th century casement window in its original opening.

On the south sides, which face Grange Road, each lodge features a five-light bow window with a half-domed roof. The north sides each have a canted bay with a blank front and early to mid-20th century casements on the sides, all beneath a projecting bowed veranda supported by turned timber baluster columns, which are bracketed at the eaves and also have a half-domed roof. Attached to the south pier of each porch is a gatepier, which consists of a panelled column with a moulded pedestal and capital that supports an ornate wrought iron globe lantern. The mid-20th century metal gates are not of interest. Additionally, there are contemporary brick screen walls attached to the lodges facing Grange Road, while late 20th century rear extensions are also not of interest.
