Upper Lodge In Friar Park

Upper Lodge in Friar Park is a later 19th-century building designed in a flamboyant Gothic style. It is constructed of red brick with a tile-hung first floor and features a tiled roof topped with a dragon finial. The lodge has two storeys with two windows and a central stone doorway that is Tudor arched. On the western side, there is a bay of five lights with stone mullions and transoms, while the eastern side has a two-light window. The first-floor western window has modern glazing in a moulded frame, and the eastern side features a small rectangular window below the balcony. Notable details include arms and a motto above the doorway and heraldic animals over the window below the turret. The lodge is part of a group of buildings within the Friar Park estate, which also includes the lower lodge, entrance walls, gates, and piers, forming a group with Ancastle Cottage opposite.
