Park Lodge

Park Lodge is a lodge for Overbury Park, built between 1902 and 1903 by architect Ernest Newton for Richard Biddulph Martin. The building is constructed of coursed dressed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a stone tiled roof laid in diminishing courses. It has overhanging bracketed eaves, gable-end parapets with ball finials, and an ashlar ridge stack with moulded capping. There is also a limestone rubble chimney at the west end with tiled offsets and two shafts.

The lodge is L-shaped, with a main range of three bays aligned east to west and a single-bay south wing. It is a single storey with an attic, featuring a chamfered plinth and an attic-level string course on the south wing. The south front elevation has windows with leaded casements. The main part includes a single-light ground floor window with a dripstone and, to the left, the main entrance which has a moulded flat canopy supported by plain corbels and a half-glazed door.

On the south gable end to the left, there are two ground floor 2-light chamfered mullioned windows and a 3-light chamfered mullioned attic window, all with hoodmoulds. The east gable end facing the road features an ashlar canted bay window with a moulded cornice and a 2-light chamfered mullioned attic window above, also with a hoodmould. The date AD 1903 is inscribed on a quoin to the left side of the east gable end.
