The Lodge And Attached Gateway And Wall

The Lodge and attached gateway and wall were built around 1824 and are made of rendered red brick. The building features a conical slate roof with a single red brick ridge stack, a rendered stack at the rear, and a larger rendered corner stack at the front right, which corresponds to the corner buttresses that end in pepper pot finials. There is a raised eaves band, and the lodge has an asymmetrical octagonal plan with two storeys. The road-facing side includes a round arched recessed panel, a similarly arched glazing bar sash to the left, and a blocked opening further left. Above these, there are three glazing bar casements. To the right, there are red brick extensions, while to the left is the red brick and render gateway, which has a single crest above and a shaped parapet topped with large orb finials. Adjacent to the gateway is a large octagonal pier that also ends in a pepper pot finial. Extending from the rear of this pier is a stepped, coped ashlar wall that stretches for about 13 metres. The Lodge was originally built as a gatehouse for Roclaveston Manor.
