Description
Castle Lodge and Gateway at Blaise Castle Estate is a lodge and gateway built between 1798 and 1799 by Humphry Repton. It is constructed of Pennant ashlar with limestone dressings, and the roof is not visible. The building has a single-depth plan and is linked by an arch to a turret, designed in the Gothick style. It stands two storeys tall and features a one-window range. The left-hand lodge is slightly forward of the entrance porch, which is beside a four-centred carriage archway. To the right, there is a tall octagonal turret with string courses at the ground and first floors, topped with a crenellated parapet that has machicolation above the archway. The windows include three-light ground-floor and two-light first-floor designs with Tudor-arched heads and labels. The Tudor-arched door is located in the porch below a shield, with a crossed arrow slit window on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected. This structure is part of Repton's landscape design for Blaise Castle House.
