Brereton Lodge

Brereton Lodge is a shooting lodge, later converted into a house, dating to circa 1902. It was designed by W.H. Brierley for W. Brooke. The building is constructed of dressed sandstone rubble with sandstone ashlar quoins and dressings, and has a stone slate roof. It comprises four wings arranged around an open square courtyard.

The south front has two storeys and four bays, with a projecting, full-height crossgable on the left end. A board door is positioned left-of-centre, with a two-light window to its left and two four-light windows to its right. Above are three three-light windows. The crossgable features a jettied first floor supported on corbels and has four-light windows on both floors. A central stack is located to the right.

The west front has two storeys, with a two-window central range between gable walls of flanking ranges. The right gable wall has a full-height projecting porch. The porch has a jettied first floor, supported on corbels, containing three-light windows on both floors and a board door in the south side, positioned beneath a one-light window. The right gable wall has a two-light ground floor window and a one-light window on the first floor. A corbel table extends across the right gable wall, forming a moulded first floor string. The left gable wall has a two-light ground floor window and a three-light first floor window. The central range features, on the ground floor, a group of four lights to the right of a four-light window, and on the first floor, a two-light window to the right of a three-light window. Ridge stacks are positioned at each end of the central range.

The east front has two storeys, with a one-window gable wall to the left of a two-storey, four-bay range with irregular fenestration. Left-of-centre and left-end stacks are present. All windows are mullioned with square-leaded casement lights in hollow-chamfered surrounds. Ground floor windows (excluding those in the crossgables) have flat hoodmoulds. Plain bargeboards are present on all gables.

The interior was not inspected, but sales particulars from 1984 mention Art Deco fire surrounds in the Drawing- and Sitting-rooms, a galleried landing, and an oak staircase with carved balusters.
