Description

Alwalton Lodge is a house that was formerly a lodge, dating from the early 19th century. It features a rebuilt porch from the early 17th century, originally from Dryden's House in Chesterton, Cambridgeshire, along with 20th-century alterations and additions. The building is constructed from Ketton limestone and coursed rubble limestone, with freestone dressings and some 20th-century brickwork.

The porch is two storeys high and consists of one bay, topped with moulded copings and a shaped gable that has an apex and side finials. It includes a round-headed outer archway with moulded imposts and a jewelled keystone, flanked by Tuscan columns on pedestals that support an enriched entablature. Above this, on the first floor, there is a three-light moulded mullioned and transomed casement window, flanked by Ionic columns on pedestals featuring geometric designs of circles that echo the pediment of the gable. Below the window, there is a rectangular plaque. The inner door is from the 20th century.

To the left of the porch, there is a single-storey range with a gable end stack and a two-light transomed casement window. The original porch from Dryden's House was rebuilt as Lynch Lodge at the entrance to Milton Hall Park in Caster, Cambridgeshire, and has recently been renovated by The Landmark Trust.
