Description
Top Lodge to Alscot Park, along with the attached gate and railings, was built around 1860 for the Alscot estate. The lodge is constructed of brick with blue brick and ashlar dressings, featuring a shallow-pitched slate roof and a brick stack. It has an L-plan layout set at an angle to the road, with a re-entrant porch.
The exterior is single-storey, showcasing a blue brick plinth and quoins, and a top modillioned brick cornice that runs around the gable, along with wide eaves and verges. The porch includes a round-arched opening with a later plank door and a small round-headed side light. To the left, there is a gabled wing with a canted bay window under a hipped roof, which contains round-headed lights arranged in a 1:2:1 pattern, accented with blue dressings and lattice glazing. A similar round-headed window is located to the right of the porch. The stack features a cluster of four shafts connected by small arches and a cornice. The right return has three round-headed lights matching the others. The rear of the lodge has three segmental-headed windows with lattice glazing.
The interior has not been inspected.
The subsidiary features include a gate to the left with square buff-brick piers that have blue brick dressings and ashlar pedimented caps, along with a 20th-century gate. The side screens display a fishscale lattice pattern and smaller end piers. There are cast-iron railings on a low stone plinth, which have decorative heads, a small gate, and red brick piers.
