Description
This lodge, along with its gates and flanking walls, forms part of the former Whitelands College. The lodge walls and piers were built between 1928 and 1930 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott as part of the college development. The gates include elements dating back to the 18th century, originally from Old Whitelands College in Chelsea.
The lodge itself is constructed of handmade red brick, topped with a hipped pantile roof. The West Hill elevation features a prominent central round-arched entrance with rusticated brick quoins. Below the arch is a brick tympanum displaying the college crest. A pair of wrought iron gates are set into the archway; one leaf has been altered but is demonstrably from the 18th century. Small, multi-paned timber sash windows are located to the left and right at ground level, while the upper storey is blank. Smaller, two-by-two-paned timber sash windows are set into the single-storey flanks to the left and right.
Ramped flanking walls, each terminating in banded, rusticated brick piers with moulded stone coping and urns, enclose a forecourt. Low retaining walls return from each of these walls towards the arch.
