Description

Doric Lodge, along with its roadside gates and railings, is a lodge built in the early 19th century, possibly by Pritchett and Watson, for the Wentworth estate. It is constructed from ashlar sandstone and features a Welsh slate roof, with iron railings and gates.

The lodge is designed in the style of a tetrastyle Greek Doric temple, positioned sideways to Hague Lane. The railings extend south along Hague Lane and include a gateway. The lodge itself is two storeys high, with a single-storey section at the rear. It has a two-step stylobate, fluted columns, a triglyph frieze, a mutule cornice, and a pediment. Inside the portico, there is a panelled door framed by an architrave with a console cornice and a recessed panel above, flanked by clasping pilasters. Each side has a wing wall that is set back, featuring a plinth, a semi-domed niche, a projecting end pier, and a cornice. The right side has a sash window with glazing bars on the ground floor and two casement windows on the first floor, flanking a blind recessed panel, along with a triglyph frieze and a low ridge stack. The left side is similar but has only one glazed opening on the first floor.

The railings are set on an ashlar plinth and consist of round bars, some with forked bases, topped with spiked finials above a plain top rail. There are four square-section gate piers, each featuring an openwork frame of vertical and diagonal bars with upswept apexes and finials. The central gates and side gates, one of which is a fixed panel, all match in style and include dogbars. The railings end at a corniced ashlar pier.
