Chowley Lodge

Chowley Lodge is a Grade II listed building, constructed in 1868 as the lodge for Bolesworth Castle. It is designed in a Decorated style, likely by Alfred Waterhouse, and is built from yellow sandstone with a roof made of banded shaped slates. The lodge features an ornate castellated entrance that includes a pair of wrought iron gates set beneath an oak-ceiled archway, which is adorned with armorial bearings.

The lodge-keeper's room has a shoulder-arched doorway flanked by mullioned windows with two lights. This room connects the gateway to a two-storey cottage that has an irregular shape, corbelled corners, a parapet, and steep hipped roofs. The inner side of the roof features a shaped dormer gable, and there is a shaped stone chimney topped with brick.

To the right of the cottage, there is a single-storey wing that ends in a wing wall with shaped coping. This wing wall has a blocked rear-access doorway and a quadrant outer portion that includes a terminal pier capped with a pyramid and ball. The wing wall to the left of the gateway is partially collapsed. The main window of each storey of the cottage, which originally had three trefoil lights, has been replaced with a standard metal casement.
