Easenhall Lodge

Easenhall Lodge is an estate house built around 1871 by Joseph Goddard of Leicester, with a later extension added in the late 20th century. The building features polychrome red brick with blue brick and stone dressings, topped by a steeply pitched patent tile roof adorned with elaborate pierced bargeboards at the gable end. It has a brick lateral stack with stone set-offs and a corbel.

The lodge has a T-shaped plan that includes a circular tower at the junction and a parallel extension at the back. The exterior showcases asymmetrical gabled elevations over two storeys, with a gabled front that features intricate pierced and arched bargeboards supported by brackets and large moulded stone corbels at the corners. The ground floor has a prominent 4-light mullion-transom window with a carved stone coat of arms and a relieving arch above, while the first floor has a 3-light mullion-transom window set in a pointed arch recess with a stone cill. A porch on the right side has pointed timber arches with pierced spandrels, leading to a circular tower behind that has a moulded brick frieze of panels below a glazed lantern and a conical copper-clad roof. The left side of the building includes a large lateral stack with stone weathering and a half-hipped gable that projects outward. At the rear, there is a late 20th-century parallel brick range designed in a similar style.

Easenhall Lodge is a notable example of a High Victorian Gothic estate house.
