Rood Ashton Lodge

Rood Ashton Lodge is a pair of lodges with a carriage house and stables, likely built around 1830 for the Long family of Rood Ashton House. The structure is made of stuccoed brick with Welsh slate and corrugated asbestos roofs, featuring terracotta octagonal stacks. It has a Gothic-style courtyard layout.

The north front includes a central entrance to the courtyard with an elliptically-arched design and double panelled doors, which display the Long family crest on the keystone. Above the entrance is an oriel window with pointed lights, and the building is topped with a battlemented parapet and octagonal corner pilasters. Flanking the archway are two bays with 2-light mullioned casements that have pointed lights on both the ground and first floors. The single-storey flanking bays each contain a 4-panelled door leading to each lodge and a mullioned casement with three pointed lights, all featuring hoodmoulds. The low side bays have 2-light mullioned casements.

Inside the courtyard, there are elliptically-headed double carriage doors on the south side, along with panelled stable doors and mullioned casements with pointed lights on the west and east sides. The battlemented parapets conceal the roofs. The interior of the stables has been partly gutted but retains some high-quality timber and cast-iron partitions between stalls, slate panels with tethering rings, and cobbled floors. This elaborately designed stable and lodge block was built to match the main house, possibly by architect Thomas Hopper.
