Lodges And Gate South Of Orton Park

The lodges and gate south of Orton Park date from 1839 and have been converted into two houses. They are constructed of red sandstone rubble with a chamfered plinth and ashlar quoins, topped with graduated greenslate roofs and ashlar chimney stacks. The buildings are 1½ storeys high and consist of two bays each, featuring symmetrical lodges that flank a flattened segmental stone arch. The lodges have canted bay sash windows with glazing bars, and there are 20th-century doors on the inner sides set within 19th-century stone surrounds. Small attic windows are located at the rear.
