Description
The Entrance Lodge, located approximately 370 metres north of Acton Scott Hall, is a lodge that now serves as the office for Acton Scott Farm Museum. It dates from the early 19th century but incorporates earlier materials from the late 16th to early 17th centuries. The building is constructed from rubblestone and features plain and club pattern tile roofs, with overhanging eaves and a verge that includes a carved front bargeboard made from 16th-century fabric. It has two brick ridge stacks and a T-shaped plan.
The exterior consists of two storeys. The front has a single mullion window above a mullion and transom window on the gable end to the left, and a similar window on the side face to the right. Both windows are fitted with moulded oak sections from the late 16th to early 17th centuries. There is a central projecting gabled entrance porch and a single-storey extension to the right. The rear features a single 20th-century casement window in brick-lined openings. The interior has not been inspected.
