Description
The car lodge, also known as a 'barchessa', and the attached gatepiers to Bentley Farm, along with the linking wall, were built in 1962 and 1965 by architect Raymond Erith for Mr and Mrs Gerald Askew. Constructed from brick and timber, the car lodge features a tall, hipped tiled roof and an open front with eight bays supported by timber Tuscan columns. The ends are weatherboarded, and the rear wall is made of brick. The brick wall continues as a boundary to the courtyard where the house is located, ending in a pair of brick gatepiers topped with stone ball finials, positioned on a skewed plan. This structure is an important part of Erith's work at Bentley Farm, which is also listed.
