South East Lodge Of Former Driveway To Longworth Hall

The South East Lodge of the former driveway to Longworth Hall is a building from the 18th century, with some alterations and additions made in the 20th century. It is one of a pair of lodges that flank the old driveway leading to Longworth Hall. The lodge is constructed of ashlar stone and features a hipped slate roof. It has a rectangular plan with later additions at the rear and is designed in a classical style.

The lodge is a single storey structure with a plinth, a string course, a dentilled eaves cornice, and rusticated quoins. The doorway is framed by a Gibbs surround topped with a segmental pediment, and the windows have pedimented surrounds with glazing bar sashes. Inside, the lodge retains its original door and window fittings. Although the lodges have been attributed to the early 20th century by Pevsner, the interior fittings of the South East Lodge suggest it may have an earlier origin, while the sharpness of the external details indicates that some restoration has occurred. The lodges are depicted in a 19th-century print, which was in the possession of the owner of the South East Lodge during a resurvey in April 1985.
