Entrance Lodge To Cusworth Hall Including Wing Walls And Gates

The entrance lodge to Cusworth Hall, including wing walls and gates, is likely from the mid-18th century and was built for William Wrightson of Cusworth Hall. The structure is made of ashlar limestone and features a Welsh slate roof and iron gates. It stands two storeys high and has a symmetrical design with three bays on the front and one bay on the sides, complemented by concave wing walls.

The lodge has a plinth and chamfered quoins. The central carriage entrance is round-arched and framed by rusticated quoins, featuring simple iron gates with finialled mid-rail and top rail. On either side of the entrance are sash windows with glazing bars, projecting sills, and plain architraves, while above are 6-pane casements with similar surrounds. The building is topped with a cornice and blocking course, and the hipped roof has corniced end stacks. At the rear, the design is consistent, with a central roof dormer and doors on each side of the arch soffit, as well as doors on each return, one of which is in the position of a former sash window. The wing walls are coped and topped with corniced end piers.
