Milton Lodge

Milton Lodge is an entrance lodge to the now-demolished Battlesden House, likely built between 1860 and 1868 by G H Stokes, with advice from Sir Joseph Paxton, for Sir Edward Page-Turner. The lodge is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs. It is a small T-plan structure consisting of one storey and attics. The building has 2 and 3-light moulded mullion and transom windows, which are adorned with brick aprons and cornices made of brick topped with ashlar. The southeast gable includes a canted bay on the ground floor, and there is a porch located at the eastern angle. The entrance features a 6-panel door with a rectangular fanlight, framed by a moulded architrave that has a heavy keystone and impost blocks. A moulded string course runs along the first floor level of the main elevations, and the gables and parapets are finished with stone coping. Decorative stone finials can be found on the gables, and there are two slightly projecting chimney stacks, one on the side wall of each block, both featuring moulded stone cornices.
