Fernhill Lodge

Fernhill Lodge is a lodge built around 1870 for the Stanleys. It is constructed of red brick in an English garden wall bond, with pink sandstone dressings. The roof is covered with purple tiles featuring bands of fishscaling and has a central stone ridge chimney. The building is one storey with an attic and has a three-bay east front. The end bays each have a two or three-light chamfered stone mullioned window with a hood mould. There is a projecting open gabled timber porch with pierced barge boards, which features a bevelled stone doorcase and a glazed terracotta plaque displaying the Stanley arms. The gables are shaped, with stone coping and a pointed finial. The left end of the lodge includes a canted bay window with a three-light stone mullion above, and the rear has a one-storey lean-to that incorporates similar design elements as the main structure. Fernhill Lodge is very similar to Bollington Lodge on Congleton Road, but is of better quality.
