Description
The Longner Lodge is an entrance lodge built around 1803, likely designed by John Nash. It features red brick with grey sandstone ashlar dressings and has plain tile roofs, showcasing a Tudor Gothic style. The building has a plinth and parapeted gables with moulded copings, kneelers, and a finial. A central ridge stack is topped with a pair of stone-capped octagonal shafts.
The lodge has two projecting gabled wings, each with 3-light transomed wooden windows that have arched-top lights, chamfered reveals, and returned hoodmoulds. The central panelled door includes two arched lights with Y-tracery and a moulded 4-centred arch. It is framed by a porch that features a 4-centred moulded archway with open spandrels, a dripmould, and a battlemented parapet with a plain shield.
On the right-hand return front, there is a square bay with a cross-window and a battlemented parapet, while the left-hand return front has two square bays. This lodge serves as the entrance to Longner Hall.
