Description
The Lodge, along with the gateway and entrance walls of West Dean Park, is located to the northeast of the house and was likely designed by James Wyatt in 1804. This two-storey building features two windows and is faced with flints. It has a hipped thatched roof and a tall red brick chimney. The casement windows consist of two round-headed lights with 'rustic' wooden mullions and transoms. The adjoining gateway to the west is from the late 19th century, probably designed by Sir Ernest George and Harold Peto in 1893. It includes square gate piers faced with flints and topped with stone ball caps, flanking the drive. The gateway features an elaborate pair of wrought iron gates, which consist of double carriage gates alongside smaller pedestrian gates. Curved flint walls, likely from the early 19th century, are present on each side of the gates.
