Former Lodge To Watermillock Gate House

The former lodge to Watermillock Gate House, located on Seymour Road, was built in 1880 and designed by architects JJ Bradshaw and John Gass. The building is constructed from coursed tooled rubble and features a graded green slate roof. It is one-and-a-half storeys tall and has a T-plan layout, with a 20th-century extension at the rear.

The entrance loggia consists of two bays and includes a segmentally arched arcade supported by low piers adorned with rich foliate capitals and spandrels. Above the loggia is a gabled dormer with overhanging eaves and a finial. To the right, there is a curved end bay of the wing, which features 5-light dressed stone mullioned windows with leaded panes on both floors, topped by a deeply overhanging conical roof with a finial.

The side elevation facing Crompton Way has deep eaves interrupted by a gabled dormer on the left and a large external stack with three shaped shafts. There are single-light windows on the ground floor on either side. The left end of the building has a gabled 2-light dormer with coved stone on the gable wall, along with 2 and 3-light windows below. The interior has not been inspected.
