Description

Peacock Lodge is a mid-19th century lodge located at the park gates on the south side of Dorchester Road in Frampton. The building features ashlar stone walls with rusticated stone quoins and slate roofs that have low gables and projecting eaves. There are two stone chimneys: one at the junction of the two ridges, which is coupled and rendered with a heavy stone modillion cornice, and another single stone chimney at the west gable. The lodge has a small cruciform plan, with a ground floor and attics above.

The round-headed windows are adorned with stone architraves and bracketed stone cills, and they feature cast-iron glazing bars arranged in intersecting squares and hexagons. The entrance on the east face includes an integral porch supported by two square piers with moulded capitals, which hold up a plain lintel that extends into a plat-band. Above the entrance is a moulded tympanum displaying the arms of Sheridan within a moulded cartouche. There are plain wood doors on either side of the entrance, and a plank rear door is located on the south-west wall.
