Description
Kirklington Park Lodge is a lodge built around 1900, likely designed by the architect J.H. Sellers. It is constructed from rendered sandstone and features a Welsh slate roof. The building is single-storey with an attic and has a roughly square plan, with polygonal bay windows on three corners and attic windows on the main roof slopes. A central ridge stack is present. The windows consist of four and two-pane hornless sashes in moulded surrounds, except for the elevation facing the drive, which has a central half-glazed door with an overlight set under a segmented arch on chamfered imposts. The dormers, which are slate hung on the sides, are battered and framed, with four dormers facing the front that have 2-light casements with glazing bars. An exposed sandstone plinth is also a feature of the lodge. Inside, there are small Art Nouveau fireplaces.
J.H. Sellers was a notable architect who worked in Carlisle with G. Dale Oliver, then in Manchester with Edgar Wood, before returning to Oldham where he created significant Early Modern designs.
The lodge is grouped with the listed gatepiers nearby.
