Description

Belgrave Lodge and storesheds, along with domestic offices, were built in 1889 by John Douglas for the 1st Duke of Westminster. The lodge features red brick that is dressed, banded, and plinthed in yellow stone, with red tile hipped roofs topped with shaped lead finials. It is asymmetrical, standing at 1½ storeys with 2 bays. The building has shaped half-dormers made of brick, which are stone-coped and adorned with ornate finials of various designs. There are three chimneys with stone plinths and caps, along with moulded red brick barleysugar flues. The window openings are moulded stone mullioned, and the cast iron casements have leaded glazing, some of which is patterned. The front door features a moulded flat-lintelled stone surround engraved with the Westminster initial and the date 1889. The door itself is a framed, ledged, braced, and battened pine door with shaped boarding and ornamental wrought iron hinges. The interior does not contain any features of special interest. At the rear, there are two single-storey outbuildings, connected by a yard wall, one with a gabled roof and the other with a hipped tiled roof, which contribute to the overall composition.
