Former Hunting Lodge Approximately 600 Metres To North-West Of Park Lodge

The former hunting lodge, located approximately 600 metres to the north-west of Park Lodge, dates from around 1675 and is currently disused. It is constructed from rendered coursed Alberbury breccia rubble with red sandstone ashlar dressings and features a pyramidal slate roof. The building has a square plan and cubic proportions, standing two storeys tall.

Notable architectural features include a chamfered plinth, a cyma-recta moulded string, and an external lateral stack on the south-west side, which was remodelled in the mid- to late 19th century with a pair of octagonal ashlar shafts that are now truncated. The lodge has 2-light double-chamfered mullioned square windows with cruciform ashlar dressings below, although the ground-floor window on the north-west side has been blocked with red brick. There are small circular windows flanking the stack on each floor, with the ground-floor window on the right having been enlarged at a later date.

To the south-east, there are two rectangular ground-floor windows flanking the entrance, which features a roll-moulded surround, a large lintel with a triangular-arched head, and a 19th-century boarded door.

Inside, the lodge retains a 17th-century roof with red-ochre colouring and raised lozenge and oval decoration on the purlins, along with a mid- to late 19th-century machine-sawn king-post truss. The ground-floor spine beam is chamfered, and there are 17th-century stone fireplaces on both the ground and first floors, featuring moulded triangular-arched surrounds, deep friezes, and cyma-recta moulded cornices. A 17th-century dog-leg corner staircase with winders, a moulded closed string, shaped splat balusters, a moulded grip rail, and a square top newel post with a moulded finial is also present, though the lower flight of the staircase has been rebuilt in the mid- to late 19th century.

The render on the rubble walling has largely fallen away, but it is likely that it was always part of the original design. The lodge is graded II* as a generally unaltered example of a rare building type. Park Lodge is not included on this list.
