Description

West Lodge, along with its walls and gate piers, was built between 1830 and 1840 by John Dobson. This Neo-Tudor lodge is constructed from ashlar stone and features a stone roof. It has an L-shaped design, consisting of one storey with an attic. The front has a single-bay gabled section that includes a canted bay window with mullions and transoms, fitted with diamond-paned casements. Above the window is a parapet with roll-moulded coping. There is a solid porch at the angle of the L, which also has similar coping. The windows on the sides and rear have hoodmoulds that extend as dripstones, and the gables feature both hoodmoulds and diamond-paned windows. A prominent stone ridge stack is topped with two tall, diagonally-set corniced chimneys.

To the left of the lodge, there is plain walling that ends with two square piers featuring concave caps. The gateway to the right of the lodge has square corniced piers topped with heavy, concave caps and lead eagles. It is flanked by arcades consisting of five pointed arches with wrought iron grilles in between, all resting on a chamfered base and capped by roll-moulded coping. To the right of the gateway, a plain wall also ends in two square piers with concave caps.
