Description
This early 19th-century lodge, along with its gate piers and park wall, stands on Meeting Street in Quorn. The lodge is constructed of painted cement render with a 20th-century tile roof, featuring rendered ridges and rear stacks. It comprises a one-story section facing the drive and a two-story section behind, designed in a late classical style. The main facade features two rounded arches, each with pilaster details and strip surrounds. Within the left arch is a six-over-six sash window, while the right arch contains a part-glazed door, both in a matching style. Above the arches is a double-curving gable displaying the Farnham coat of arms within a wreath. Single-story extensions have been added to the left and right of the main lodge. The two-story section has a two-light casement window with additional top lights, decorative pilaster strips, and panels. Four gate piers mark the entrance; two are topped with stone urns and two with stone fircones, all supporting a low stone-coped wall. Extending to either side of the gateway is a brick and granite rubble park wall, approximately 5 meters high. Quorn House, the seat of the Farnham family since around 1260, is located nearby.
