Peacock Lodge East To Tabley House, Gatepier And Railing

Peacock Lodge East to Tabley House, along with its gatepier and railings, was built around 1770 and is likely the work of architect John Carr. The lodge is constructed of red Flemish bond brick and features a slate roof with lead flashings. It is a single-storey building.

The front of the lodge has a stone base and a central sash window with three by four panes, set within a moulded frame and a blind arch. Above this is a stone Doric entablature. The roof is pyramidal with a central square chimney stack that has stone moulding at the top. There are bowed railings in front of the window.

To the right of the window, there is a pilaster-gate-pier, with railings leading to a square gate pier that has a moulded pyramidal cap with a flat apex. This cap supports a wrought iron lamp bracket decorated with anthemion and patera designs. To the left, a bowed wall shields an outshut. The rear of the building is similar to the front, while the right side elevation mirrors the front except for a six-panel door that replaces the window.
