The Lodge

The Lodge is a lodge building constructed between 1845 and 1846 by architects J Paxton and J Robertson for John Allcard of Burton Closes. It is designed in the Tudor Revival style and features deeply-coursed sandstone with ashlar dressings and shaped clay roof tiles.

The building has two storeys and two windows on the first floor, with a wing at the rear center flanked by flat-roofed additions. Notable exterior details include punched quoins, moulded cross-windows, and gables with shaped kneelers and upstands to roll-moulded copings. The gabled central porch features a rusticated keystone above a four-centred arch, with a central shaft that rises to form a finial. There is a corbel table at the eaves and gabled half-dormers.

On the left side, there is a corbelled end stack with a deeply-chamfered base supporting twin octagonal flues with moulded caps, and an apex finial on the right. The decorative ridge tiles add further detail. The right return has a rectangular single-storey bay window, while the left return features a four-centred arched doorway leading into a walled yard. The interior has not been inspected.
