Cow Lane Lodge To Pendley Manor

Cow Lane Lodge to Pendley Manor is a gate lodge built around 1875 for Joseph Grant Williams Esq., likely designed by Walter F.K. Ryan, the architect for Pendley Manor, which was constructed around 1874-1875 in a similar style. The lodge features a red painted timber frame on a yellow brick plinth, with red brick infill on the ground floor arranged in herringbone and other patterns. The first floor is adorned with scalloped red tile hanging, and there are decorative incised stucco panels over a stucco cove at the top of the front gable. The steep red tile roofs extend over a timber-framed open side porch with a brick sill next to the drive.

This small, two-storey lodge is designed in a Jacobean style and faces west, with the porch set back on the north side. The front includes a canted brick bay on the ground floor, featuring stone quoins and window dressings. Above this, there is a tiled pentice supported by heavy timber braces from stone corbels, and a three-light oriel window with an ogee plastered lower part. The design also includes a stucco cove and ornamental infill below a moulded bargeboard with a pendant. Tall red brick pilastered chimneys with corbelled caps complete the lodge's distinctive appearance.
