Hunter'S Lodge Hotel

Hunter's Lodge Hotel, formerly known as Broxton Lower Hall, is a hotel built in 1671 and restored and altered in 1886. It features an oak frame with plaster panels set on a sandstone plinth, with brick alterations and extensions at the rear. The building has grey slate roofs with decorative bargeboards and finials, along with 19th-century shaped brick chimneys typical of the Carden Estate buildings. The almost symmetrical front has four gables and is two and a half storeys high with five windows. The wing gables are lower than the central pair. The central portion has a small frame with baluster posts on the upper storeys and chevrons on the wings. A recessed central porch contains an original oak mullioned and transomed window at the back and a 20th-century door on the left side. There is a 10-light mullioned and transomed window on each side of the porch. The second storey features a 3-light mullioned window above the porch, with a 10-light window on each side. Each wing has a 12-light mullioned and transomed window on the lower storey and slightly different windows on the upper storey. Each attic gable has a 2-light mullioned window. The upper storey has leaded glazing. The building displays Victorian carved dates, with "IDF 1671" on the left and "PLC 1886" on the right. Much of the framing has been renewed.
