North Lodge To Abbotswood (Not Included), With Attached Gatehouse And Wing Walls

North Lodge to Abbotswood, with an attached gatehouse and wing walls, is a lodge and gatehouse built in the late 19th century. It is constructed from snecked red sandstone, with red tile and flat roofs. The gatehouse is two stories tall, featuring a screen wall on the left and a one-bay gabled lodge on the right. The approach from Barrow Road is lined with the attached wing walls, all designed in the Gothic Revival style.

The gatehouse has full-height diagonal buttresses that flank a moulded arch with a hoodmould, which rises from an impost string course. Above the arch, there is a crocketed ogee statue niche, flanked by cusped, square-headed single-light windows with leaded glass. The oversailing parapet steps up and forward over the buttresses. Inside the archway, there are roll-moulded doors on both sides and an arch across the drive with iron gates.

The lodge features one- and three-light mullioned transomed windows with leaded glass, set in ovolo-moulded shouldered surrounds, and has dripmoulds. There is a string course beneath a two-light window in a pointed recess under the gable, which has moulded copings. A truncated three-five ridge stack sits on an ashlar base with offsets. The screen wall to the left of the gatehouse has three trefoiled lancets and an oversailing parapet with triangular copings. The wing walls return at right angles from the lodge and screen wall to line the curved approach, featuring a chamfered plinth, intermediate piers with offsets, and triangular copings. This structure was built to serve Abbotswood, the former home of James Ramsden, the first Mayor of Barrow, which has since been demolished.
