West Lodge And Attached Gatepiers To South

West Lodge and the attached gatepiers to the south are located on Congleton Road. This gate lodge, built for Great Moreton Hall around 1841-1843 by Edward Blore, is constructed from yellow sandstone ashlar and features a 20th-century roof made of cement tiles. The building has a single storey and a T-shaped plan.

The entrance front includes a projecting gabled bay on the right, which features a canted bay with a moulded plinth and three 20th-century lights at the center, along with casements at the corners. Above this is a brattished parapet, behind which is a hipped roof of ashlar that rises into the gable, adorned with moulded kneelers and a moulded coping topped with a finial. At the apex of the gable is a canopied niche that holds the Ackers shield, which is suspended from a stylized leather strap with a buckle.

To the left of the gabled bay is a recessed portion, and at the re-entrant angle, there is a gabled porch featuring a panelled wooden door and a quatrefoil in the gable, which also has a moulded coping, a kneeler to the left, and a finial at the apex. The left side has blank walling. A chimney stack made of ashlar, with four octagonal chimney pots and brattishing at the top, is located at the junction of the ridges. At the rear, there is a 20th-century extension with a flat roof.

The attached gatepiers to the south are octagonal on a plinth, topped with weathered caps over a moulded cornice, and are surmounted by fleur de lis finials.
