The Lodge

The Lodge is an entrance lodge built around 1850, likely designed by Charles Barry. It is constructed from dressed limestone with ashlar dressings and features a hipped slate roof with deep overhanging eaves. The building has an L-plan layout and is positioned at an angle to the drive. It is a single storey structure with a plinth that has vermiculated rustication, raised quoins, and an eaves band. At the rear, there are two integral lateral stone stacks with octagonal stone shafts.

The left-hand wing includes a square bay with a chamfered stone top and a 2-light wooden casement with a chamfered stone architrave. The right-hand wing has a canted bay with a chamfered top and 1-2-1-light wooden casements, also featuring chamfered stone architraves. There are single-light casements with chamfered reveals on the faces of the wings. In the angle of the building, there is a central pair of half-glazed doors with a plain stone surround and an angled lean-to slate porch. The interior has not been inspected. The Lodge, along with its associated gatepiers, is located at the end of the main drive to Kiddington Hall, which Charles Barry remodeled around the same time. It is included for its group value.
