Description
Colton Lodge is a house built in the early to mid-18th century, with a 19th-century bay on the right and a 20th-century single-storey bay on the left. It is reputedly associated with the Morritt family of Rokeby Park and was used as a hunting lodge. The building is constructed of pinkish-brown brick, with red brick and ashlar dressings, topped by a plain tile roof.
The house has three storeys and six bays, with the third bay projecting slightly. On the garden front, there is a 20th-century tripartite garden entrance to the left of centre. The ground floor features four 24-pane sash windows in flush wood architraves and one blocked opening. The first floor has an ashlar band and 16-pane sash windows in flush wood architraves, while the second floor also has an ashlar band, with one unequally-hung 12-pane sash window and otherwise 20th-century casements. All openings have stone cills and flat arches made of gauged brick. The building is adorned with a dentilled eaves band and has a hipped roof with end and front stacks.
Inside, there is an open-well pine staircase with turned balusters and a wreathed handrail. Some rooms feature box beams, and there are shutters in some of the first-floor rooms.
