Description
This is a late 19th-century lodge with associated gate piers, gates, and walls. It was built in 1880 for Sir Bache Cunard, as indicated by a stone tablet above the bay window. The lodge is constructed of coursed rubble stone with quoins and stone dressings, topped with a Collyweston slate roof and a moulded stone ridge stack. It is designed in a Tudor style with stone coped gables, kneelers, and finials.
The lodge has a cross plan, with the main gable facing. The front features a four-light canted stone bay with Tudor arched lintels and leaded lights, a cornice, and battlements with crosslets. A canted stone porch with a hipped roof and plank door is set to the left. There's a two-light window on the left gable, a two-light window on the right side of the main gable, a further two-light window on the right cross wing, and a matching stone bay on the gable end. A brick rear yard wall terminates in a pier with a flame finial.
A coursed rubble stone wall connects the lodge to an ashlar gate pier on the left side. The gate piers, possibly dating back to the 18th century, feature set-in corners, moulded cornices, a blocking course, and a carved stone heraldic finial on a curved base – a bull's head encircled by a coronet. They stand approximately 5 metres high. Between the piers are wrought iron gates and panels approximately 4 metres high, incorporating scrolls and crestings. A further coursed rubble stone wall extends south from the right-hand gate pier, ending in a brick pier with a flame finial.
