Description

Lodge Gate is a mid-19th century building designed in the neo-Elizabethan style. It originally served as the lodge for Great Bounds, a house that has since been demolished. The structure is built of ashlar stone and features a slate roof. It has one storey and an attic, with an irregular ground plan. A large squared bay faces the road, and there are tall neo-Elizabethan chimneys. The windows are square-headed and fitted with metal casements, and some recent external alterations include dripstones above certain windows.

Lodge Gate receives an average of 750 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 70% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 58% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 63% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
