Entrance lodge with curved walling and gate piers at Lawnswood House

The entrance lodge at Lawnswood House, built in 1839, features curved walling and gate piers. Constructed of brick with stucco render designed to resemble ashlar, it is topped with a slate roof.

The lodge has a roughly cruciform shape with an octagonal turret on the north side. The principal façade faces south-west and includes a single-storey projecting entrance porch with a pediment above. The central entrance door is recessed and flanked by stone steps, with a cornice supported by consoles. The octagonal turret to the north has several blind windows, with three on the first floor and three on the ground floor. The ground floor features a central window with a pediment supported by consoles, flanked by two windows, one of which is blind, and two narrow blind lights in between. The first floor has three round-headed windows with hood moulding, again with the most westerly being blind and two blind narrow lights in between. The north-east elevation includes a central projecting bay with a hipped roof, and to the left is a lean-to roof covering the rear entrance.

Inside, the ground floor contains a kitchen and two reception rooms, both featuring late 20th-century fireplaces. Some original joinery remains, including built-in cupboards in one reception room and shutters in the entrance hall and the south-east reception room. The first floor has two bedrooms that retain their 19th-century sash windows.
