Lodge And Gateway To Mylnhurst

The lodge and gateway to Mylnhurst was built in 1883 for William Greaves Blake. It is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with a tall coped stone gable stack. The building has a plinth and is a single-storey structure with a two-window range, designed in an L-shape. On the drive side, there is a projecting gabled wing to the right, which has a traceried bargeboard and a finial. A canted stone bay window with four lights and a coped parapet is also present. In the return angle to the left, there is a lean-to porch with shaped openings and turned wooden posts, alongside a three-light stone mullioned window. The left gable features a similar traceried bargeboard. The interior has not been inspected. The adjoining gateway has curved flanking walls with a plinth and chamfered ashlar coping. It includes two square stone gate piers with cross-gabled ashlar caps, which are topped with octagonal cast-iron lamps, and features renewed wrought-iron gates.
