Description

The South Lodge to Brereton Hall School, built around 1830, is a lodge made of tooled squared rubble sandstone and stands two storeys high in a symmetrical design. It features a crenellated, octagonal turret with small lean-to outer wings on either side of a Tudor archway. The gates have been removed. Each turret has a boarded door in a moulded opening beneath a label, topped with a cross-shaped arrow-loop. The front face of each turret includes a two-light double-bevelled mullioned and transomed window on both storeys. Above the archway, there is a top-hamper containing a glazed cross-loop. Each wing has a round-headed blank arch on the lower storey and a slightly curved parapet.

At the rear, the turrets have mullioned and transomed windows similar to those at the front. Each wing features an inserted round-arched window on the lower storey and a small inserted casement on the upper storey. The lodge retains much of its original external appearance, except for the rear windows and the pyramidal roof above the archway, which has been replaced with fibreglass, although this is not very noticeable. The interior has not been inspected.
