The Lodge

The Lodge is a mid-19th century building located on Lapley Lane in Stretton. It is constructed of brick with stone dressings and features moulded bands along the parapets. The flat roof is concealed behind a crenellated parapet, particularly prominent at the central tower. The building has an asymmetrical castellar style frontage, with a two-storey section divided into three parts. The tower, positioned to the right of the centre, rises above the parapets to a three-storey height. It has lancet windows on the ground and first floors, with a trio of smaller lancet windows on the second floor. To the left of the tower is a bay with a series of small rectangular windows, while a taller, shorter bay with windows is situated to the right of the tower. There is also a single-storey, three-sided bay and entrance on the right side facing the drive. The Lodge is part of a group that includes gate piers and a bridge, all of which were created during the extensive alterations and landscaping of Stretton Hall in the mid-19th century.
