Penshurst Lodge And Gateway To Hall Place

Penshurst Lodge and the Gateway to Hall Place, built around 1870 by George Devey, is located on the north side of Penshurst Road. The structure features a long high wall made of red brick with a pattern of blue headers, which steps up in the center and is topped with a three-layered stone coping. The large double gate is made of wood and has cusped tracery, flanked by wrought iron posts with fleur de lys heads. There is also a smaller side gate, both set within stone Tudor arches that have carved spandrels. The wall extends northwest to form the front wall of a one-storey-and-attic lodge, which has a gable-ended side facing the road. The lodge has fairly high-pitched tiled roofs with two pairs of tall octagonal chimney shafts and many-planed cornices. The stone-coped gable end features roll moulding that connects to the top moulding of the screen wall. Stone quoins and dressings accentuate the five-light mullioned casement windows. Penshurst Lodge and the Park Walls are part of a group of structures.
