Clifton Lodge With Gates And Gatepiers To South-East

Clifton Lodge, along with its gates and gatepiers to the southeast, is a country house estate lodge built around the late 19th century. It features snecked stone with freestone dressings and has a clay plain tile gabled roof adorned with ornate ridge tiles and finials. The roof has overhanging verges supported by arch-braces and hammer-beams on small corbelled braces. There are brick axial stacks with stone strings and corbelled caps topped with yellow clay pots, all designed in the Victorian Gothic style.

The lodge is a single storey with an attic and has an asymmetrical two-bay front facing northeast. The right side has a projecting gable with a large stone canted bay window that includes quatrefoil top lights and a stone canopy, along with a two-light stone mullion window above it. The roof on the left side slopes down to low eaves over a now-blocked doorway that has a moulded shouldered frame, accompanied by a weathered buttress on the left corner.

The southeast return, which faces the drive, features an asymmetrical gable with lower eaves on the right, a large stone bay window with a stone canopy, a small two-light window to the right, and a larger two-light window above in the gable. The southwest elevation has a large gable with low eaves, while the northwest elevation displays a narrow gable over a cambered arch doorway that now has a late 20th-century glazed door, with the roof on the right side sloping down to low eaves over small single-light windows. The windows are iron casements.

Inside, there is a winding mechanism in the parlour for opening and closing the drive gate, although it is reportedly not in working order. Clifton Lodge is part of a series of Victorian lodges at Tyntesfield, complete with its gate and gatepiers.
