Description
The Lodge to Cricket Court is an entrance lodge to a large house, dating from around 1620, with extensions made in the later 16th century. It is constructed from ham stone rubble with ashlar dressings and features hipped Welsh slate roofs and brick chimney stacks. The building has a double roof plan, with the original portion being a single storey on the side of a hill, which includes a basement. The roadside elevation consists of two bays, with one bay being the original portion. Across the entire first bay is an angled bay window with one large and three smaller lights, featuring ovolo-moulded mullions set in wave-mould recesses, and three-centre-arched rectangular leaded lights. The second bay is blank. The entrance is located on the south side, while the north elevation has two segmental-arched openings at basement level, with 20th-century windows to the side and above. The interior has not been inspected. The lodge has significant group value with Cricket Court.
