Lodge At East Entrance To Town Thorns

The lodge at the east entrance to Town Thorns is a country house building designed by Alfred Waterhouse in 1873 for Washington Jackson. It has been extended in the 20th century. The lodge is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features a hipped slate roof with paved brackets at the deep eaves and lead rolls along the hips and ridge. There are brick axial stacks adorned with moulded stone strings and cornices.

The lodge has a cruciform plan with a 20th-century extension at the rear. It is designed in the Italianate style and has a single storey with a three-bay front. The central projecting wing has a bowed front and includes a pair of small round-headed windows with colonnette. There is a similar single-light window on both the left and right sides. To the right, there is a stone porch that features classical round arches supported by panelled piers and a moulded cornice. The building also has rusticated stone quoins, a moulded stone plinth, and a moulded stone string below the eaves. The interior has not been inspected.
