The Upper Lodge To Wyastone Leys

The Upper Lodge to Wyastone Leys is a lodge built around 1861-1862 for John Bannerman of Wyastone Leys, designed by William Burn. It is constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. The building has a broadly T-shaped layout, with a porch at the angle and a flat-roofed section at the rear. It is designed in the Jacobean style, comprising two storeys in the top part of the T and a single storey in the remainder. Notable architectural features include a string course, shaped gables with finials, and stone-mullioned windows—specifically, a 2-light window at the gable end of the two-storey section with a canted bay on the ground floor, and a 3-light window at the gable end of the lower range. The canted bay and the open porch both have pierced parapets with shouldered arches. Additionally, there are three twisted shafts on the central stack and the lateral stack of the lower range. The lodge is adjacent to a set of gate piers and gates.
