Description
The North Lodge is a Grade I listed lodge built between 1760 and 1761 by Robert Adam. It is constructed of red brick with an ashlar facing and has Welsh slate roofs. The lodge features a tall carriage archway flanked by low pavilions. The north elevation consists of three bays and includes a Roman Doric pedimented entrance with fluted columns, a triglyph frieze, and a coat of arms in the pediment. There is a semi-circular arch with a moulded and fluted impost band that continues as the cornice to the pavilions, each of which has a single glazing bar sash in a moulded stone surround. The lodge is adorned with a pair of elaborate 18th-century wrought iron gates made by Benjamin Yates, who was formerly Bakewell's foreman. The south elevation is similar but plainer, featuring fluted pilasters, a plain frieze with an egg and dart motif, and the Scarsdale Crest in the pediment. Additionally, the west pavilion contains an 18th-century chimney-piece.
