Description
White Lodge is a gatelodge to the west drive of Stagenhoe Park, now a private house, built in 1897. An inscription on the southeast angle reads 'VR J 60/WBH', commemorating Queen Victoria's 60th Jubilee and William Bayley Hawkins. The building features brick roughcast with steep red tile hipped roofs and extensive white-painted woodwork, showcasing a charming Arts and Crafts style reminiscent of Kate Greenaway's illustrations.
The lodge is 1½-storeys tall and faces the drive to the south, with an L-shaped plan that includes a single-storey open porch with a seat at the southeast angle. It has an exaggerated overhang at the eaves supported by long, curling wrought iron brackets. The small casement windows have heavy wooden glazing bars and heart-shaped holes in the external shutters. The porch is flanked by brackets shaped like birds in flight, and there is a moulded cornice above the flat roof.
