Description
Ormskirk Lodge to Crosby Hall is a gate lodge dating from the early to mid 19th century, constructed from sandstone ashlar with a graduated slate roof in the Tudor style. The building has a modified cruciform plan, featuring a front porch, a rear wing, and a small north wing. It is a single-storey structure with a symmetrical arrangement of windows and oversailing eaves.
Offset to the left of the center is a large gabled porch adorned with cusped bargeboarding. The porch includes a Tudor-arched outer doorway with hollow mouchette spandrels, a hoodmould, and a blank shield above. Matching arches are present on both the left and right sides, and there is a corresponding inner doorway with a Tudor-style panelled and half-glazed door. To the right of the porch is a cross-window in a similar style, and further back on the right side is a low wing with a hipped roof and a three-light mullioned window. Both of these windows feature diamond-paned glazing, Tudor-arched lights, hollow spandrels, and hoodmoulds. A small skylight is located in the roof, and there is a three-flue chimney at the rear of the center. The left gable wall has a canted bay window that matches the overall style of the lodge. The interior has not been inspected. This lodge forms a group with the associated gate piers.
