Entrance Lodge To Red Maids School

The entrance lodge to Red Maids School is a cottage built around 1830. It is constructed from pennant rubble with limestone dressings and features a slate hipped roof. The building has a single-depth plan and is designed in the cottage ornee style. It stands two storeys high and has a two-window range. The canted end of the lodge includes a central pointed door with a Y-framed design, flanked by ground-floor windows on either side that have three lattice-leaded lights with ogee trefoil heads and a label with quatrefoil panel stops. There is a full-width verandah supported by paired timber stanchions, leading to a door into the right-hand lean-to, which has a plain surround. The first-floor eaves dormers, supported by brackets, mirror the ground-floor windows and feature cusped ashlar tympana, along with bracketed overhanging eaves. The interior has not been inspected.
