Two single storey lodges connected by a range of drive gates. Road front; Central double drive gates with arrow head finials to the palings, quatrefoils to the dogbars and crescent-shaped strengthening bars. Square piers to either side with banded rustication and pyramidal caps. Double wicket gates to either side of these similar to the drive gates but without the strengthening bars and lateral demi-piers,which are of similar design to those at centre and attached to the lodges. The lodges are similar, each having a slightly projecting plinth and a central slightly recessed archway with voussoirs over and containing a sash window of 3 x 4 panes. Each has a pyramidal roof and a central square chimney stack. The fronts facing the drive each have a central doorway. Both lodges have lateral brick extensions (neither of which are included in this item).
