Description
The Lodge and splay walls, built in the 1850s, are designed in a Tudor Gothic style. They are constructed from patterned red brick and feature moulded stone strings and dressings, with tiled roofs hidden behind Dutch gable-type verge parapets. The building has a single and two-storey front, with a gabled centre that rises to two storeys, flanked by octagonal turrets. At the apex, there is a coat of arms above a slightly projecting stone-dressed three-light mullioned window, which has a frieze over a Tudor-arch carriageway. The sides of the lodge step down to a single storey, with small outer gables, each containing a labelled cross-form window. The wide, ramped splay walls extend to the sides of the frontage. This lodge originally served Dilhorne Hall, which has since been demolished.
