South Lodges, Gate Screen And Gates

The South Lodges, gate screen, and gates were built between 1786 and 1787 by James Wyatt and are designated as a Grade II* listed structure. They are constructed from tooled ashlar with Lakeland slate roofs and cast iron elements. The pair of octagonal lodges features a plinth, frieze, moulded cornice, and a tall blocking course adorned with carved festoons. Each lodge has a central domed recess and 12-pane sash windows on adjacent faces. The lodges are topped with pyramidal roofs that include a central octagonal stepped-and-corniced stack.

The lodges are connected to the gatepiers by a three-bay Roman Doric screen, which is enclosed by railings with spike finials. The broad piers have domed recesses that support carved bulls, which are painted white. The double gates have downswept tops, an upcurved rail, a lower rail made of linked circles, and spike finials.

Inside each lodge, there is a flush-panelled door on the internal face. Additionally, there is a 20th-century three-bay cottage in a similar style attached to the east lodge.
