Description
Pikes Head Lodge is an estate lodge built around 1800, attributed to John Carr of York, and was associated with the now-demolished Parlington Hall. The lodge is constructed of rendered stone and features a slate roof. It has a square plan and two storeys, with only the upper level visible from the road due to the sloped site.
The building is designed in a classical style with a symmetrical facade consisting of three small bays. The central entrance features a six-panel door topped by a moulded cornice supported by consoles. Above the door is a panel with a moulded coronet that has a pike's head, which is the emblem of the Gascoigne family, all set within a recessed round-headed arch. Impost bands from this arch incorporate the moulded lintels of the former sashed windows that flank the door; these have been altered to casements that imitate 12-pane sashes. The roof is pyramidal with a moulded cornice, corner chimneys, and a central ball finial. The cylindrical single-flue corner chimneys have square bases, moulded caps, and tall pots. The rear and sides of the lodge feature blind windows at ground level, with altered windows above.
