Gort House Gort Lodge

Gort House and Gort Lodge, dating from the early 18th century, originally formed one house, with Gort Lodge serving as the entrance lodge and Gort House as the garden front. They are now separate properties. Gort Lodge is a two-storey, four-window building constructed of brown brick with red dressings, featuring a modillion cornice and a pantiled roof. A small, splayed bay was added to the right side mid-18th century, and the first floor is weatherboarded at one end. A later two-storey wing of brown brick is attached to the left. The doorcase has a bowed pediment supported by carved consoles. The ground floor windows flanking the door have thick glazing bars, while other windows have later 18th-century glazing.

Gort House is a seven-bay, two-storey building (the left-hand bay possibly being a later addition). It features a mid-18th-century open pedimented doorcase. During World War II, the basement of Gort House was converted into an air raid shelter with reinforced ceilings and bunk beds. The walls of the shelter contain a remarkable collection of wartime graffiti in red, blue, and green paint, primarily consisting of humorous verse and text.
