Description
North Lodge is a gate lodge built around 1848, with early and late 20th-century additions. It is constructed from dressed snecked red sandstone with ashlar dressings, and has been extended using undressed snecked red sandstone and reconstituted stone. The roof is hipped and covered with plain tiles. The building has a square plan and is designed in the Tudor Gothic style, standing at one storey high.
It features a plinth and a brick ridge stack with two star-shaped shafts that have oversailing tops. The east front has three bays, with a central porch that includes a coped parapeted gable topped with a truncated finial. The porch has a chamfered Tudor-arch doorway with 20th-century glazed doors and a plain armorial shield above. The north front also has three bays, featuring a central projecting square bay with a coped parapeted gable and finial, which contains a window with three pointed-arched leaded lights and a returned hoodmould. The additions to the right are set back and include two windows. There is a central bay on the south side as well.
The interior has not been inspected. The lodge is depicted on the Pitchford tithe map from 1848 and is one of two gate lodges serving Pitchford Hall, alongside The Lodge.
