Description
No. 54 is a lodge for Hornby Castle, built in the mid-19th century, featuring walls and gate piers that create the entrance to Hornby Castle drive. The building is constructed from snecked sandstone rubble and has a steep slate roof behind an embattled parapet. It is two storeys high, with windows that have upper lights and Tudor-arched heads, each with a drip course above. A canted projection faces west towards the road, where the ground floor has a central mullioned and transomed window with six lights, flanked by two-light windows with transoms. The first floor has blank canted sides and a central cross window. The entrance is located in a two-storey projecting porch on the right-hand return wall, and at the rear, there is a circular embattled turret. A chimney is positioned at the center of the ridge.
To the right of the lodge are the gate piers made of sandstone ashlar. The central pair of piers have weathered plinths with a square plan, and their upper parts are chamfered to an octagon in two stages. Each pier is topped with a moulded cap featuring crenellation and a tapering top with an iron finial. Carved roundels, including figures of a cat and a rat, adorn the main faces of the central piers. These piers are flanked by a smaller pair with similar, but less elaborate, details. Concave walls with a string course and embattled parapet connect the lodge to the adjacent gate pier and flank the group, forming the entrance to the drive.
