Description

Gate lodge to Lillesden, built around 1855 for Colonel Edward Lloyd. It is constructed of red brick with polychrome brick and ashlar details, topped with a slate roof. The building has one storey and a garret, set on a double offset plinth. It features a moulded cornice along the gabled roof, which has moulded bargeboards, a stack on the right, and a small spired turret at the rear left. The garret has paired arched sash windows, while the ground floor has three segmentally headed sashes, with the windows on the left and right set in angled corner pieces. These windows are adorned with tongue-chamfered and enriched stone heads. There is an outshot on the left that includes an open enriched timber porch with a panelled inner door, and a plain outshot on the right.
