The Lodge, Gatepiers And Flanking Boundary Walls

The Lodge, along with its gatepiers and flanking boundary walls, is a house that was formerly the lodge to Lea Wood Hall. It was built between 1874 and 1877, designed by the architect W. Eden Nesfield. The building features regularly coursed gritstone with ashlar dressings on the ground floor, while the first floor is tile hung. It has a plain tiled roof with projecting verges at the gables.

The north elevation faces the street and has a gable that jetties out, supported by deep timber brackets. The ground floor includes three-light and single-light casement windows, while the first floor features a four-light casement window with shutters. On the side elevation, there is a gabled projection on the first floor that is also supported by timber brackets, above a doorway that has a 20th-century glazed door.

To the west of the building, there are entrance gatepiers that stand 1.5 meters high, with moulded bases and pyramidal caps. These gatepiers are attached to curved flanking entrance walls that have chamfered copings, and they terminate on the west side in a tall square pier topped with a pyramidal cap.
