Description
The Front Lodge at Easneye is a gatelodge that contains two houses, built in 1866. The design for this 'Double Lodge' was dated 12 November 1866, created by Alfred Waterhouse, who also constructed the main house, Easneye, for Thomas Fowell Buxton between 1867 and 1868. The building is made of red brick and features scalloped tile hanging on the upper floor, along with steep red machine tile roofs that have bands of scalloped tiles and ornamental ridges. It is a cruciform, two-storey structure located on the west side of the gate. A large, ornate red brick chimney is positioned centrally. Each gable end juts out on moulded joists and corbels, with quarter hips on the north end and south gables. There are open timber porches with matching gabled roofs for each house. The ground floor has segmental arched two-light casement windows, while each gable features a three-light casement window set on a corbelled sill.
