The Lodge

The Lodge is a gate lodge built in 1832 and 1853, constructed from uncoursed stone rubble. It features a gable-ended plain-tile roof adorned with a wide band of fishscale tiles, and has pierced shaped barge boards with finials. The left side has an integral stone end stack topped by two octagonal terracotta or stone shafts with moulded bases and capitals, while the right side has an external stone stack with chamfered offsets, some slate hanging, and topped by two octagonal terracotta shafts with moulded bases and capitals.

The lodge has a T-plan layout with a projecting gabled cross wing to the right, designed in the Tudor Gothic style. It is one storey with an attic and has an asymmetrical two-window front. The right side features a slightly projecting gabled cross-wing and a large gabled half dormer on the left. The windows are three-light wooden mullioned casements with octagonal pattern cast-iron glazing bars and returned wooden hoodmoulds. To the right, there is a canted bay window with a hipped slate roof and stone cill, featuring 1:2:1 lights. The central entrance has a six-panelled door within a beaded wooden frame and a returned hoodmould. Above the door, there is a millstone set in the wall with a surround and a small shield inscribed "Nov/1953", and to the right of the door, there is stone inscribed "JULY 1832". There is also a one-storey lean-to on the right-hand side wall with a four-centred arched boarded doorway.

The Lodge serves as the principal entrance to Glenthorne, a house built for the Reverend W.S. Halliday around 1829 to 1832, with the later date likely indicating the time of completion or subsequent alterations. The design of the lodge reflects influences from P. F. Robinson's publication "Rural Architecture; or a Series of Designs for Ornamental Cottages," released in 1823.
