Description

Crawley Lodge is an entrance lodge to Woburn Park, dated 1852 and built for the 7th Duke of Bedford. It is constructed of yellow brick with rendered dressings and features a 20th-century tiled roof. The building is a small single-storey L-shaped block. The road-facing elevation has a pair of gables, each with a 2-light mullioned window below. The east elevation, which faces the gates, includes a canted bay window on the right gable and a gabled porch on the left block. All gables have rendered coping with kneelers and ornamental finials. The windows are fitted with cast iron latticework casements. To the east, there is an adjoining cottage with heavy timber gates, and the gate piers are topped with ornamental finials.
