Park Lodge

Park Lodge is an estate entrance lodge built around 1810 to 1820, likely designed by Sir John Soane. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features a low-pitched slate hipped roof with wide, spreading eaves. The building has a 'T'-shaped plan and is a single storey with a moulded eaves cornice. The mid-20th century top-light casements are set in original pointed arches, with one window to the left and two to the right of a pedimented portico that has a round arch and two twin-shafted jambs. There are two mid-20th century glazed doors under round arches, which are set back in an apsidal exedra behind the portico. At the rear, there is a polygonal range at right angles, also featuring mid-20th century top-light casements in original pointed arches and rounded angle piers; the stacks have been removed. A single-storey mid-20th century red brick extension at the rear is not included in the listing. Sir John Soane is also known to have designed the nearby Butterton Grange Farmhouse and is believed to have drawn up plans for Butterton Hall, although those plans were not executed. The Double Lodge, which has been significantly altered, may also have been designed by him and is located on the former Butterton Hall estate.
