North Lodge

R0MSEY EXTRA A27 SU 32 SW 2/22 Embley Park, North Lodge

GV II

One of a pair of lodges, on either side of the entrance driveway, this on the north side. Early C19, with C20 alterations and extensions. Yellow brickwork in Flemish bond, arches to ground-floor openings (recessed at the front) plinth: plain stone band at impost level. Steeply-pitched hipped roof, with eaves having coupled modillion-brackets. The almost-square pavilion structure has symmetrical form, with a sash window to the (east) front, and above this a Coade stone panel (of putti harvesting grapes). The entrance elevation (facing the driveway) has a window above on arched doorway, with a six-panelled door: at each corner there are piers, the rear marking the gateway: to the north side there extends a two-storeyed (late C20) wing of tile and brick, and in front of this a low wall curves from the corner of the pavilion to stop at an outer pier of yellow brickwork with a stone cap, and above the wall there is a decorative metal rail.
