Description
Ormiston Lodge and its surrounding walls and piers form the entrance to a former drive. Built in 1910, the lodge was originally a gatekeeper’s house on the Witley Park Estate, designed by Paxton Watson. It is a two-storey, cruciform-shaped building constructed from Cotswold stone ashlar in a restrained Jacobean style with classical influences. The roof is steeply pitched and tiled, with coped gable ends and tall ashlar chimneys. The lodge features canted bay windows on its ends. Windows are leaded, with two and three lights, ovolo mullions, and hoodmoulds. A game larder was originally located in the east wing. A half-enclosed Tuscan porch with a balustraded balcony is positioned behind a curved wall that sweeps across the north-western quarter, mirroring a similar wall across the former drive (now a public lane). The walls are defined by tall piers topped with ball finials, and a shell-headed niche is situated in the centre of each wall. A plaque on a pier of the outer wall commemorates the permanent gift of a footpath to the public by Lord Pirrie in 1910.
