Chestal Lodge Including Boundary Wall, Gate And 3 Gatepiers

This is a detached lodge house with a gate and gatepiers, built in 1848, with a later 19th-century addition. It was designed by Lewis Vulliamy for James Phelps. The lodge house is constructed of coursed and squared limestone with ashlar dressings, a brick rear addition, and a Welsh slate roof. A boundary wall of coursed tufa limestone runs alongside, featuring ashlar gatepiers and a wrought-iron gate. The style is Jacobethan, designed to complement Chestal House.

The lodge house is single-storey with an attic, forming an L-shaped plan, with a small two-storey rear addition. The front elevation has a projecting gable end on the left, featuring a moulded coping and kneelers to the parapet gable. It has a simple fenestration of two-pane sash windows in mullioned openings, with three lights on the ground floor and two lights above, all with hood moulds. A Tudor-arched doorway is set within a low projecting gable on the right, with a four-panel moulded door and a Gothick fanlight above. The elevation to the right is set back and contains a single two-light sash window on the ground floor, and a single light over in a parapet-gabled half dormer. A projecting chimney at the northwest end has a pair of octagonal moulded stacks, mirroring those on Chestal House. The brick addition to the rear has segmental-headed casements. Curved flanking boundary walls have a simple coping. There is a line of three gatepiers, with a narrow pedestrian way to the left and a carriageway to the right, leading to a large single-leaf iron gate. The gatepiers have a moulded pyramidal capping.
