The Lodge, And Entrance Gateway And Gates To Crichel House

The Lodge, along with the entrance gateway and gates to Crichel House, dates from 1874 and serves as the entrance to the park. The structure features rock-faced ashlar walls and flat roofs with parapets, some of which are battlemented. The gateway has a central section with a semi-circular arch, flanked by two lower sections, each with shouldered arches. The central section is topped with a battlemented parapet and has turrets at each end. Below the parapet, there is a string course and corbel table, with a coat of arms positioned above the arch, flanked by buttresses.

To the left, the lower section forms an entrance porch to the lodge, featuring a shouldered arch and a battlemented parapet. To the right of the main archway, another lower section has a shouldered arch, a battlemented parapet, and a projecting turret at the right end. The main arch has a groined vault, and ornamental iron gates are present at all three openings. The lodge, located at the left end, projects at right angles to the gateway and is a single-storey structure with a battlemented parapet. It has three stone mullioned windows with cast iron lattice glazing. There is also a later single-storey addition at the front, constructed in a matching style, featuring a plain parapet.
