Description
Counslow Lodge is a lodge built around 1850, likely designed by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, with a 20th-century addition. It is constructed from Hollington sandstone ashlar and features a tiled roof with verge parapets topped with crested finials. The building has a T-shaped plan. The entrance front includes a gable on the left side set on a chamfered plinth, with a string course at the first floor level. Above the 2- and 3-light mullioned windows on both the first and ground floors is a low relief carved quatrefoil panel. To the right, there is a single-storey set-back wing that has a Tudor arch entrance with a boarded door. Additional mullioned windows are present on the side elevations. Counslow Lodge is part of the Alton Towers estate, which was largely designed by Pugin for the Earl of Shrewsbury.
