Description
The lodge at the west entrance to Pleasley Vale is a mid-19th century building designed in a Tudoresque style. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with sandstone dressings and features a tiled roof that includes both plain and fishscale tiles. The roof has stone gable stacks, and the gables are adorned with fretted barge boards and pendants. The lodge has a plinth and a moulded sill band, and it is a single storey with an attic, presenting an irregular plan and elevation.
The north elevation consists of two bays and features a tall gabled porch at the center, which rises above the main eaves line. The porch has a trefoiled arched entrance and an inner doorway with a plank door. To the left of the porch is a canted bay window with a hipped roof, while to the right is a window set in a chamfered stone surround, complete with a returned hoodmould. Above, there are two gabled dormers that also have moulded hoodmoulds, barge boards, and pendants. The gable end includes two windows with returned hoodmoulds and an external stack that is corbelled out. At the time of re-survey, all windows were boarded up.
