North Lodge

North Lodge is a mid-19th century gate lodge built in a striking Gothic style. It is a tall, single-storey structure made of polychrome brick, topped with a very steep red tiled roof. The building has a T-shaped layout, with a wing that projects to the west. This wing features a canted mullioned bay window that faces the drive, along with a small hipped gablet supported by cusped brackets and projecting rafter feet.

The lodge is primarily constructed of white brick, which has a deep chamfered plinth and two bands of buff brick at different levels on each wing. The northern gable is half-hipped and includes a trefoil pierced gablet topped with a wrought iron finial set on an octagonal wooden base. The bargeboard is very deep and chamfered, adorned with flat ogee cusping.

A tall three-light mullioned window is present, featuring a deep gauged brick flat arch that is chamfered and stopped at the front edge, framed by a heavy chamfered wooden frame. There is a lower porch set diagonally in the angle of the lodge, which is half-hipped and includes a finial and a very deep chamfered arched bargeboard with four small trefoil holes. The porch is supported by heavy arched braces and moulded corbels at knee height, and it has a flat two-centred arched doorway with a plank door and a simple fishtailed hinge plate. The entrance is accessed via two Portland stone steps leading to a landing made of black and red tiles. Currently, the porch is propped on chamfered posts.

This gate lodge is of special architectural interest and is part of a group with Hunsdonbury.
