Description
Kiddington Lodge is a gate lodge built in the early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed squared limestone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh-slate roof topped with an ashlar ridge stack. The building has a two-unit lobby-entry plan with subsidiary wings and is a single storey in height. The symmetrical front displays rusticated quoins and includes a central round-arched doorway with rusticated voussoirs, a six-panel door, and a fanlight. Flanking the doorway are arched sash windows with plain wide architraves, and similar windows are found at both ends of the lodge. The shallow-pitched hipped roof rises from a moulded stone cornice and has deep projecting eaves, while the central stack is adorned with a bracketed cap. There are small subsidiary ranges at the rear. The interior has not been inspected. Ditchley Park, where the lodge is located, is listed in the English Heritage Historic Gardens Register at Grade II*.
