Deer Leap Lodge

Deer Leap Lodge is a former lodge to Ashridge Park, now used as a garage workshop and offices. It was built in the early 19th century, likely between 1808 and 1813, and is attributed to the architect James Wyatt. The building is constructed from Totternhoe stone and features roofs that are concealed by a battlemented parapet. It has a chamfered plinth and a moulded string with carved heads located below the parapet.

Designed in the Gothick style, the lodge has a house at the northwest end and former coach-house and stable bays at the rear. The house has an irregular plan with a square staircase tower at the northern corner and a five-sided octagonal room projecting to the west. It is two storeys high. The tower includes lancet windows, while the octagonal room has two-light traceried windows on the ground floor and paired lights with four-centred heads above.

On the side of the octagon, there is a single-storey porch, also battlemented, featuring a two-light cusped window to the north, an octagonal pier at the west corner, and four-centred arches to the west and south. The northeast side of the house has a blind lancet and paired four-centred lights on the first floor. A chimney stack with five octagonal shafts is present. The coach-house and stable at the rear are each one storey and one bay. The coach-house has blind lancets in the wall to the northeast and is open to the southwest, while the stable features a shallow gable, a four-centred arched window to the northeast, and garage doors to the southwest.
