Description

Habergham Lodge is an entrance lodge to Gawthorpe Hall, built around 1849-51 by Sir Charles Barry for James Kay-Shuttleworth. The building features coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and a hipped slate roof, designed in the Jacobean style. It has a rectangular, single-depth, double-fronted plan that runs parallel to the drive on its east side.

The lodge is two storeys high and has a symmetrical façade with three windows across, the central section slightly projecting. Architectural details include a chamfered plinth, clasping corner pilasters, a string course, and a broad band between the floors. A moulded cornice and a balustraded parapet, which is interrupted by an upstand featuring a carved coat of arms inscribed with "KS" and three obelisk finials (one of which is damaged), complete the roofline.

The central entrance has a shallow rectangular porch with a round-headed doorway, which includes a keystone, carved spandrels, and original double doors with altered glazed top panels. Both floors are fitted with 2-light mullioned windows that have double-chamfered reveals and altered glazing. The south end wall features a rectangular bay at ground level with a mullioned 3-light window and a balustraded parapet with ball finials (one missing), along with a 3-light window above and a carved shield in the parapet displaying "KS" and three shuttles.

At the rear left corner, there is a short screen wall with a wide segmental-headed doorway, and a single-storey 20th-century extension has been added to the rear.

Attached to the front of the lodge is a pair of gate piers made of sandstone monoliths, approximately 3 meters high, with stepped square sections, segmental-pedimented caps, and obelisk finials. The lodge forms a group with a drinking fountain located about 15 meters southeast in the boundary wall.
