The Pepper Boxes

A pair of small lodges, dating back to 1744, and now combined as a house. They were later extended in the 20th century to the southwest of the left lodge. The lodges are built of red brick with moulded eaves, an offset plinth, and gauged brick window surrounds. They have old tile roofs and central brick chimneys with offset heads. Each lodge is an octagonal building of one storey. The east-facing sides slightly project forward and feature semi-circular gauged brick arches with brick impost blocks, each housing a six-panel door. The west-facing sides have similar arched projections with three-light leaded windows, each light having a pointed head. The left lodge has leaded cross casements to the sides of the door, with the left one being renewed in the 20th century. A similar cross casement is located to the left of the door on the right lodge. The remaining sides have blind windows incorporating panels of blue header bricks. A cellar door is also present on the right lodge. The 20th-century single-storey extensions are built of brick and have tiled roofs. The lodges are connected by wooden gates attached to wooden posts with banded ball finials. They are situated at the foot of The Glade, a long, wide avenue leading to Hampden House.
