Description
Wragby Lodge, along with its gateway and screen walls, was likely built in 1777 by Robert Adam. The pair of lodges are constructed of sandstone ashlar and wrought iron, and each has a square plan with a single storey. They are in a classical style, featuring rusticated quoins, an impost band around the building, and a round-headed recessed arch facing the road. This arch contains a round-headed sash window with radiating glazing bars in the head. The roofs are low pyramidal with a central chimney. A plain doorway on the side wall leads to the drive, and the rear of the lodges mirrors the front.
Between the lodges stand two square gatepiers made of finely-dressed blocks. Each gatepier has a floral medallion in a plain frieze and a shallow swept cap. The double main gates and single side gates are of simple spear-railing design, with dog bars below and S-shaped passing braces above. Concave curved screen walls are attached to the outer corners of the lodges.
