Bretton Lodge

Bretton Lodge is a late 18th-century house located on Park Lane, West Bretton. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and has a stone slate roof. The house is two storeys high and features a symmetrical three-bay facade. The central bay has a prominent giant sunk panel with a round-arched head, nearly filling the crowning pediment and containing a Diocletian window. A distyle Tuscan portico provides protection to the doorway, which has an overlight. Flanking the central bay are two-storey canted bays, each with 12-pane sashes. A 12-pane sash is centrally located on the first floor, featuring a flat arch. A sill band runs along the ground floor, while a band is located between the floors and at the base of the pediment. This band continues as an eaves cornice on each side. The gable copings extend as a moulding across the tall brick end stacks, which have ashlar caps. A two-bay addition to the right of the main house, built in a matching style, incorporates blind ground-floor windows. It also has a ground-floor sill band, a band between the floors, and another at eaves that sweeps upwards at the centre, continuing across a tall lateral brick stack. The interior has not been inspected.
