Entrance Lodge To Mesnes Park

The entrance lodge to Mesnes Park, likely built in 1878, has been enlarged and altered over time. It is constructed from snecked sandstone with some half-timbering, and features brick at the west end and rear, topped with slate roofs. The building has an irregular plan and is designed in a Vernacular Revival style, comprising one-and-a-half and two storeys.

On the lower left side next to the gateway, there is a projecting gabled porch that includes a recessed side door and wooden balustrading, along with a half-timbered gable. The gable-end facing the street has a boarded window and a jettied plastered gable decorated with incised floral motifs. The two-storey section, which was added later and is set back to the right, features a doorway and a large rectangular bay window on the ground floor, two windows above, and a jettied half-timbered gable above the bay window. At the time of inspection, the lodge was unoccupied and boarded up.
