Description
Danehurst Lodge is a house that was originally built as a lodge in the mid-19th century and altered in the 20th century. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and features lead roofs with a central stone ridge stack, presenting a cruciform plan over two storeys.
The main elevation faces Brafield Road and is characterized by a row of giant Ionic pilasters that frame the central bay and the narrower bays on either side. The ground floor has a central sash window with a moulded stone surround, pulvinated frieze, and moulded cornice. Above, there is a shorter sash window in the centre with a moulded sill and surround. The flanking bays feature shallow round-headed niches on the ground floor and circular niches on the first floor.
A moulded sill band and full entablature with a pulvinated frieze and pediment adorn the gable, with these elements continuing around the entire building, all gables being pedimented. The left wing facing The Drive has a similar design but omits the niches and the frieze on the ground floor window; its side facing Brafield Road includes a 20th-century door with a moulded stone surround.
At the rear, there is a projecting wing that mirrors the main composition but has a blank central window on the ground floor with a moulded surround and a pair of small blank windows above on the first floor with moulded sills. The bays on either side contain sashes with moulded surrounds on both floors. The right wing features similar windows but lacks pilasters and includes a further single-storey projecting wing, which was altered in the 20th century and has a pedimented gable. All sash windows are horned and consist of four large panes.
Danehurst Lodge is one of a pair of lodges that mark the entrance to the former principal drive to Horton Hall, which was demolished in 1936. The architectural style of the lodges is inspired by that of the New Temple.
