Description

The lodge and forecourt wall, located south of the former Pulford approach to Eaton Park, is a disused building dating from around 1850. It was likely designed by William Burn for the 2nd Marquis of Westminster. The lodge is constructed of red sandstone ashlar and features a roof that is concealed behind a parapet. It has corner piers with tall recessed panels on each side, positioned between projecting plinths and caps that support ball finials. The front and rear have shaped false gables. A mullioned and transomed window on the front is topped with the Grosvenor arms, flanked by Talbot dogs as supporters. The lodge was originally a store-shed designed to resemble a cottage in the Jacobean style. The forecourt is enclosed by a sandstone wall with steeply weathered coping, which is connected to the lodge by a console.
