Description

Dragons is a gate lodge to Hall Place, built in the mid-19th century. It features red brick with blue headers in a diaper pattern, along with ashlar and ashlar dressings, and a timber-framed upper floor with plaster infill. The roofs are plain tiled and the building is designed in an 'Old English' style with an irregular plan.

The lodge is two storeys high and one room deep, with the upper floor jettied over the roadside. It has a barge-boarded gable supported by brackets. On the first floor, there is a mullioned and transomed oriel window, while the ground floor features a traceried stone window in the Perpendicular style. The entrance front on the right side has a semi-dormer oriel window with a finialed barge-boarded gable, and a traceried panelled door with a four-centred arch, set in a stone surround with a sidelight.

At the rear right, there is a single-storey brick wing with a kneelered parapet gable and stone surrounds to a narrow light. The left side of the roadside elevation continues with a single-storey ashlar range that includes a long 13-light mullioned window and a kneelered parapet gabled semi-dormer at the far left, featuring wooden casements. The left return elevation has cross-looped lights and a four-centred arched doorway.
