Description

Mulberry Lodge, including walls and two sets of gate piers and right-hand gates, is a house likely built as a lodge for Holy Trinity Church in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of coursed squared rubble in a purplish stone with limestone dressings, and features some slate-hanging at the rear. The roofs are slated, with a pyramidal roof on the front range and a stone chimney made of limestone and purplish stone on the rear gable.

The lodge consists of two blocks: a small square building facing the road and a slightly larger oblong range at the rear, connected by an entrance porch. The front block is two storeys high, while the rear block is single storey with a garret. The windows have moulded-stone surrounds, with the larger ones featuring stone mullions and hoodmoulds. Above the two main east-facing windows of the rear range are blind dormer gables.

The left gate piers are made of limestone ashlar with panels of purplish stone, square in section with chamfered corners and stepped, pyramidal tops, flanked by two short quadrant walls. The right gate piers are taller and thicker, also square-section with stepped pyramidal tops, but topped with square blocks carved with Gothic gablets. The wrought-iron gates are decorated with spears and scrolls, and there are low flanking walls with tall stepped and moulded copings.
