Description
Rake Park Lodge is an entrance lodge built around 1840, constructed from dressed red sandstone, which may have originally been of ashlar quality, and features a plain tile roof. The building is designed in the Tudor Gothic style and is positioned at right angles to the road. It consists of one storey and an attic, with diagonal buttresses that have chamfered offsets, a coved cornice, and parapeted gable ends with chamfered copings and moulded kneelers. There is an integral brick end stack located at the rear.
On the first floor, there is a chamfered mullioned stone window that has two round-arched lights and a returned hoodmould. The porch features a pair of boarded doors set in a depressed arched entrance. Stone canted bays are located to the east and west, each with a configuration of 1:2:1 lights, supported by pairs of large stone brackets. A lower short range is present at the rear, along with a 20th-century addition to the southeast. The interior has not been inspected.
Historically, this lodge served as the entrance to Rake Park, which was once part of the Hawkstone Estate. It is depicted on an estate map from around 1840, held at the Shropshire Records Office.
