Description
Top Lodge is a lodge for Cressbrook Hall, built in 1843 by Weightman & Hadfield. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone with gritstone dressings and features vermiculated quoins. The roof is made of chamfered fishscale Welsh slate, and the stone coped gables have moulded kneelers and ball finials. The lodge is designed in a Tudor style and is a single storey plus attic. The north-west elevation has a gabled front with a canted bay window and a two-light chamfered mullion window above. There is a doorway to the right in the return wall. The north-east elevation includes an outshut on the left and a two-light chamfered mullion window on the right. There is a 20th-century single storey wing to the west that is not of special interest. Additionally, there is a low curving garden wall on the north-east side, which is chamfered and topped with a rustic style timber fence.
