Eagle Lodge And Adjoining Gatepier To Estcourt Park, Including Quadrant Walls And Perimeter Wall To End Piers

Eagle Lodge and the adjoining gatepiers to Estcourt Park, including the quadrant walls and perimeter wall to the end piers, were likely built in the 1860s by T.H. Wyatt. The structure is made of coursed rubble stone and features a stone slate roof with coped verges and saddlestones, along with two large stone stacks. It has a T-shaped layout with a single storey and attic, a projecting gabled range towards the gatepiers, and a cross-gabled wing at the top of the T. There is also an additional gabled porch with open chamfered segmental pointed arches on each face, connecting to the pier plinth. The windows are all glazing bar casements set in chamfered reveals, and there is a small gable at the front of the projecting gabled wing above a single-storey canted bay. The porch contains the original large vertical battened inner door.

To the right, there are a pair of square gatepiers made of coursed stone, featuring a chamfered plinth and an offset plain cornice, both topped with sculptured figures of eagles, standing about 2 meters high. Between these gatepiers and to the left are gates and fencing in a bolted square grid pattern, the latter set on a low moulded plinth attached to the porch. A similar fencing likely existed immediately to the right but has since disappeared; however, a second pair of lower square piers with shallow pyramidal caps remains at the far right, along with a similar single pedestrian gate. Flanking quadrant walls made of coursed stone and a section of the estate wall are punctuated by and conclude at smaller piers.
