Description
This is an early 19th-century lodge originally built as an entrance to Wrentham House. Constructed from brick and stucco, with a colourwashed brick wing on the right, the lodge features a pantiled roof. The design presents a symmetrical facade topped with a parapet, with a central gable. The central bay is distinguished by a very fine early to mid-18th-century Greek Doric doorcase, featuring engaged fluted columns, a frieze decorated with triglyphs, paterae, and a central urn, and a finely-detailed pedimented cornice. Instead of a door, this space now holds a large-paned sash window. Flanking this central feature are two matching dummy doorways, each with attached slender square columns, a triglyph frieze, and a pedimented cornice. These dummy doorways are boarded and have segmental fanlights above. The right-hand section of the lodge is set back, and its gable end presents a doorway with engaged circular columns and a bracketed cornice, leading to a six-panel door and a rectangular fanlight above.
