Description
Pillars Lodge is a lodge for the Bowood estate, built around 1840. It is constructed from squared ironstone and features a stone slate eaves roof, barge boards, and finials. The building has paired octagonal stacks at the rear and is designed in a picturesque Tudor style, with leaded stone mullion windows and hoodmoulds.
The south front includes a dormer with shouldered gabled eaves, featuring a 2-light window, as well as a ground floor single light window and a 3-light window with ornate stops on the hoodmoulds. These flank a projecting gabled porch that has barge boarding, a Tudor-arched entry, and a similar inner door.
The east end, facing the road, showcases exceptionally ornate barge boards, with a 2-light window on the first floor and a 4-light window on the ground floor. The west end wall has a 2-light window on each floor. The hoodmould stops on the building are similar to those found on the Old Rectory in Calstone Wellington, which was rebuilt around 1842.
