Description
The lodge, gate piers, gates to Cliff House, and flanking walls were built in the early 19th century. They are constructed from coursed squared edge-tooled gritstone, with a slate roof on the lodge, and feature ashlar piers and walls, along with cast-iron gates and railings.
The two-storey lodge includes a canted bay facing the drive, sash windows with glazing bars set in moulded stone architraves, and carved panels at floor level. It has a moulded eaves cornice and tall corniced ashlar stacks. The inner and outer gate piers are square in section with a chamfered base, a moulded cornice, and flattened pyramid capstones, although the inner capstones are missing. A curved wall extends from the outer piers to a pair of larger piers that display vermiculated rustication.
The gates consist of inner two-leaf and outer pedestrian gates that have bars, dog bars, locks, top rails, X-braces, and floriate finials. The interior has not been inspected. A plaque on the right gate pier commemorates the gift of the house and grounds by Stephen Cliff Esq to the City of Leeds in 1929.
