Station Lodge Including Gate Piers And Gate Adjoining North West

Station Lodge, dated 1900, is a country house lodge within the grounds of Tyntesfield Park. The architect is unknown. It is constructed from pink rock-faced stone with Bath stone dressings, featuring half-timbered gables with brattished tie-beams. The roof is covered with clay tiles, exhibiting gabled ends and wide bargeboards. A prominent ashlar axial stack incorporates swept weathering, louvres, and a weathered cap.

The lodge’s plan is cruciform, built in a Domestic Revival freestyle style. It is single-storey high. The north-west gable end, facing the drive, has a large buttress at the centre serving as a gate-pier and loggia porches which are recessed to the left and right, supported by stone columns. The north-east gable end also features recesses at the corners, with eaves supported on long, curved timber braces. Stone mullion windows, with leaded panes, are present throughout; the south-west gable end has pairs of three-light windows, with a buttress between them.

The lodge includes gate-piers and a gate to the north-west. The inner gate-pier is integrated with a buttress and contains a winding mechanism for operating the gate. The outer pier has a moulded stone cap, and the gate is half-panelled, with posts and studs above the midrail. The interior of the lodge has not been inspected. It is an architecturally significant building and part of a series of Victorian lodges at Tyntesfield.
