Lodge And Gatepiers And Gates On Lyme Park Drive

The lodge, gate piers, and gates on Lyme Park Drive date from around 1860 and are possibly designed by A. Darbyshire for William Legh. The lodge is constructed from squared buff sandstone with sandstone dressings and features a coped Kerridge stone-slate roof with moulded kneelers and two stone chimneys. It is designed in the Jacobean style and consists of two storeys over a basement, with an L-shaped plan. The left side has a projecting gabled front with a canted bay and a plain parapet below. Above the bay, there is a two-light wooden window with mullions and a transom, along with a single light in the gable. Similar windows are found throughout the rest of the building. The left end features a chamfered doorcase.

The gate piers are made of ashlar buff sandstone and are square in section, standing on a simple moulded plinth. Each face has long rectangular panels, and the piers are topped with shaped and curved capstones that support ball finials. Low wing walls carry spear railings and similar dog bars. There is a pair of gates that match the piers but include a lock rail and two panels of St Andrew's bracing. The site is listed for its group value only.
