Greenholme Lodge And Flanking Walls, With Bollards To Right

Greenholme Lodge, which was formerly the lodge to Edmond Castle, dates from around 1824 and is likely designed by Sir Robert Smirke. The building is constructed from snecked red sandstone ashlar on a chamfered plinth, featuring pilastered angles, a moulded cornice, and a battlemented parapet. It has a green and Welsh slate roof with yellow brick chimney stacks. The lodge is 1½ storeys high, with a single bay on either side of the carriageway that connects through a pointed arch. Large windows with pointed moulded surrounds are present, although the glazing bars were replaced around 1953. Each entrance from the carriageway has plain stone surrounds. The left side wall of the building has 20th-century windows in 20th-century openings. Each building has a gabled roof at the rear. Short screen walls made of similar stonework flank the lodge and end in tall capped piers. The gates were removed in 1940, and the drive is now closed, meaning it no longer serves as an entrance to the castle. In front of the house, to the right, are stone bollards with chains that have been removed. A similar gatehouse closer to the castle has been demolished.
