White Lodge

White Lodge, dating from 1812, is the most ornate of the former lodges associated with Winslade Park. It is constructed of stucco and designed to resemble a miniature Greek temple. The building is a single-depth range, with a single room on either side of a central entrance. It is single-storied and symmetrical, with three bays to the front. An entablature, featuring a cornice and triglyphs in the frieze, runs around the entire building. The design incorporates pilaster quoins and pilasters that divide the bays. A portico with paired Greek Doric columns projects forward at the centre and at either end, with a pediment above the central section. The central doorway has a lugged architrave and pediment, while the side bays each contain a 12-pane hornless sash window. A parapet returns to form the double-stepped base of the internal end stacks, which have plastered shafts and moulded caps. The rear of the lodge features a central pediment, but lacks a portico. A low wall, likely dating to the same period, was originally situated to the south, along the main road. 20th-century additions are present at both ends. The architect remains unknown, although Nikolaus Pevsner considered the design to be the work of an architect of the calibre of Burton or Wilkins.
