Gate Lodge To Ladywell Convent

The Gate Lodge to Ladywell Convent was built in 1910 by Sir Guy Dawber for Major-General D A Scott. It features Bargate rubblestone with brick dressings and has a plain tile roof. The lodge is a single storey with an attic and has a gabled cruciform plan, consisting of two ranges, each with three bays. Designed in the Jacobean style, it includes double-chamfered mullion windows with leaded lights and dripmoulds, slits in the gable apexes, wooden rainwater pipes, and stepped brick eaves.

On the east elevation facing the drive, there is a hipped-roofed canopy on the right that protects a door set in a moulded surround. To the left, a gabled bay features a two-light window with a three-light window above it, and a swept roof. A ribbed and corniced stack is located on the ridge of the wing projecting to the right. The right return has a one-light window to the left of the gabled central bay, which has a three-light window with a two-light window above. The left return features two-light windows flanking a central bay that has a four-light window on the first floor and a hipped gable. There are late 20th-century extensions at the rear of the lodge that are not of special interest.
