Astley Lodge

Astley Lodge is an entrance lodge located at Arbury Hall, dating from the mid to late 18th century, with a mid 19th-century addition to the rear. It is constructed of regularly coursed sandstone, and the roof and chimney are concealed behind an embattled parapet. The building has a square one-unit plan and is designed in the Gothick style, featuring two storeys and a one-window range. The front facing the drive includes a chamfered four-centred arched doorway with a 19th-century ribbed door, and there is a shallow projection to the left. The first floor has a small two-light casement window from the 19th or 20th century, which includes a horizontal glazing bar. On the left side facing the road, there is a small lead-latticed light, while the right side features a four-centred arched window with Y-tracery. The rear addition, built in Flemish bond purple brick, has a plain-tile roof and stone coped gable parapets with kneelers. The interior has not been inspected.
