Description

The entrance lodge to the south of Broadleys was built between 1898 and 1900 by architect C.F.A. Voysey. It is constructed of coursed slate with some roughcast and features a slate roof. The lodge is a single storey with an attic and consists of three bays. It has wide eaves and moulded bargeboards.

The east facade includes a gabled first bay with raking buttresses. The windows are casements with architraves, moulded sills, and leaded glazing featuring rectangular quarries. The first bay has paired two-light casements with a dressed slate dripcourse and lintel above, while the other two bays have four-light windows. The first floor has a three-light window with a dripcourse above, and the gable is roughcast. A large cross-axial stack is present.

The north-east angle is recessed to form a porch supported by a Tuscan column. The entrance features a boarded door with strap hinges and a handle adorned with heart motifs, alongside an adjacent window. The north gable end has a roughcast gable above a dripcourse, with a two-light window on the ground floor and a projecting timber dove cote above, although it has ledges but no holes. The porch includes an iron overthrow for a lamp, also featuring heart motifs.

To the right, there is a wall with a round-headed entrance that has strap hinges with heart motifs. The west facade has a lean-to outhouse attached to the third bay, with a gable above. The entrance is accessed by three slate steps leading to the second bay, which has a two-light window to the right. The third bay contains a three-light first floor window with a dripcourse, and the gable above is roughcast. The south gable end has a later lean-to timber shed and a large projecting lateral stack.

Inside, there are few original features, but the windows retain a type of catch that is common in Voysey's work.
