Description
This building is the lodge to Swarcliffe Hall, now known as Grosvenor School, constructed around 1850 for J G Greenwood, likely designed by Major Rhode Hawkins. It is built of ashlar stone and features a graduated grey slate roof. The lodge has two storeys and consists of one block with three bays.
The north-east front, which faces the drive, includes a projecting single-storey porch on the right. The porch has a round arch with an impost and keystone, along with similar paired niches on the right side of the porch and in the screen wall to the right. There is an impost band above these features. To the left of the porch, there are paired sash windows with plain stone sills and lintels. Above, a dormer window features paired eight-pane casements. A moulded band runs above the ground-floor window lintel height, with oversailing eaves, gable coping on the dormer, a hipped roof, and two corniced ridge stacks. The right return of the building has a similar dormer window.
