Description
West Gate Lodge is a lodge for Fonthill Abbey, built in 1860 for the Marquess of Westminster. It is constructed of Flemish bond red brick with yellow brick dressings and features decorative patterns in vitrified brick. The lodge has a steeply-pitched and gabled tiled roof with diagonally-set brick stacks. It is a single storey with an attic and has one window.
The entrance features a large open timber-framed gabled porch with a planked door to the right. To the left, there is a group of three octagonal-paned casements with Tudor-arched heads set on brick shafts. Above, there is a 2-light casement with arched heads on shafts. The gable has cusped barge boards.
On the right side facing the drive, there is a canted bay with octagonal-paned casements and a 2-light casement above with arched heads on shafts. A stone tablet on the gable displays the Westminster heraldic arms and the date 1860. The left side has a lean-to against the ground floor and a gabled oriel dormer in the attic.
This lodge is one of a pair of notable lodges for Fonthill Abbey, which was demolished in 1955. The other lodge is Stone Gate Lodge.
