Paradise Lodge

Paradise Lodge is an estate lodge built around 1853-1854. It is constructed of red brick with grey sandstone ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof. The building has a T-plan and is designed in a decorative Tudor Gothic style, consisting of one storey and an attic.

The lodge has a plinth with a chamfered stone top, chamfered corners with stone stops, and decorative elements such as chamfered trefoiled valences with moulded corner pendants, chamfered cinquefoiled barge boards, and ridge cresting. A central brick ridge stack features octagonal shafts with moulded bases and caps.

On the east front, there are two windows with 2-light wooden casements that have chamfered stone surrounds. The central doorway has a continuously-moulded archway and a half-glazed panelled door with Gothic tracery. A full-width open porch has octagonal piers with moulded bases and capitals on pedestals with chamfered plinths. The porch roof is hipped and features chamfered trefoiled valences and moulded corner pendants, along with a central gabled break adorned with chamfered cinquefoiled barge boards, a finial with a cinquefoil-panelled pendant, and ridge cresting.

Each gable end displays an uncarved stone shield at the apex, 2-light attic casements with octagonal-pattern glazing bars, chamfered reveals, and returned hoodmoulds. The ground floor has stone square bays with chamfered plinths, corbelled battlemented parapets, and 3 x 1 stone mullioned windows with octagonal-pattern glazing bars. There is a hipped-roofed block at the south-west angle with a sunken pathway leading to a chamfered Caernarvon-arched boarded doorway on the road. A 20th-century addition is located at the north-west angle. The interior is plain. This lodge is similar in design to another lodge at Weston-under-Redcastle, which was built at the same time when the new drive to Hawkstone Hall was created.
