Bradridge Lodge Including Garden Gate Immediately South East And 3 Gate Piers Immediately South West

Bradridge Lodge is an early 19th century lodge associated with Bradridge House. It stands alongside a garden gate and three gate piers forming the entrance drive. The lodge is constructed of limewashed slate rubble with a low-pitched pyramidal scantle slate roof covered in bitumen. Deep eaves are carried on timber posts to create a verandah on the front and sides. A rendered square stack rises from the apex of the roof.

The lodge has a square, single-story, four-room, double-depth plan, facing the entrance drive to Bradridge House. A central doorway leads directly into the left-hand living room; a smaller room to the right was likely a bedroom, with a matching room behind, both heated by back-to-back fireplaces. A shared stack serves the kitchen situated behind the front left-hand room. The front and sides feature a verandah, with six rustic timber posts supporting the eaves on the front and five on each side, excluding the corner posts. A 20th-century outshut now extends to the back of the lodge.

The symmetrical front elevation has one window on either side of a central doorway, all with segmental stone arch heads. Later 19th-century two-light casement windows are set within these arches, along with a glazed and panelled door. Similar two-light casements are found on the side elevations. Interior features include original joinery, such as panelled doors and simple wooden chimney pieces.

The lodge includes an early 19th century wrought iron garden gate in front, featuring two concentric rings with intersecting and scroll patterns and circles in the spandrels. Square cast-iron gate posts with moulded finials are also present. Three gate piers flank the main drive entrance; they are constructed of slate rubble with cemented caps that are squat and square in plan. Two piers flank the drive, and a third serves the foot gate. The gates themselves are 20th century.
