Description
The North West Lodge to Heath House is a lodge built between 1830 and 1831 by architect James Trubshaw, with some minor later additions. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a low-pitched pyramidal slate roof with a central stack. The lodge has a reticulated square plan and is a single storey. The front, which faces the approach, has three windows with glazing bar casements; the outer windows are single-light and are flanked by pilasters, creating a deep central recess with a three-light window. On the entrance side to the right, the design is reversed, with outer recesses containing entrances and a central three-light casement flanked by pilasters. At the rear, there is a lower brick addition with one 20th-century window. This lodge is part of the approach to Heath House. Drawings for the lodge exist, signed by James Trubshaw, contrary to the suggestion in T. Mowl and B. Earnshaw's book "Trumpet at a Distant Gate - The Lodge as Prelude to the Country House," published in 1985, which incorrectly attributes it to Thomas.
