Gatehouse at Forest Lodge

The Gatehouse at Forest Lodge is a former gate lodge built around 1936, designed by Robert Lowry FRIBA for Francis Egerton Pegler, and is now a house.

The building features a plain clay tile roof and red brick walls laid in English garden wall bond, with a red brick chimneystack and leaded casement windows. The house has an oblong octagon shape in plan, with an attached rectangular covered yard to the south and a rectangular fuel store to the south of the yard.

This one-and-a-half storey house has a steeply-sloped plain clay tile roof and a central rectangular red-brick chimneystack. Both the east and west slopes of the roof include dormer windows clad with hanging clay tiles. The ground floor walls are made of red brick, and the north elevation features a tripartite window at the center, while the other elevations have two-light windows, all with leaded casements. The single-storey covered yard at the rear has a shallow-pitched roof and was altered in the late 20th century to provide additional living space, with a door and window added to its east elevation. The attached single-storey store at the south end of the yard has a hipped roof covered with plain clay tiles.

The interior has not been inspected, but plans from July 8, 1936, indicate that it was designed to include a stair, scullery, living room, pantry, bedroom, and cupboard on the ground floor, with two bedrooms above, along with the attached covered yard and fuel store at the rear.
