Description
These are an early to mid-19th century pair of identical single-storey lodges, situated on either side of the main drive leading to Cowhill House. They were built using squared rubble with ashlar dressings and are painted. Each lodge faces the driveway. The windows have hood mouldings, and are tripartite casements with wooden mullions set into splayed reveals. A central porch features panelled square columns supporting Tudor-arched openings. A central ridge stack incorporates two squat, diamond-shaped flues, and the roof is piended with overhanging eaves, all covered in graded slates. The lodges are flanked by panelled square gatepiers constructed of red ashlar, topped with ball finials. Curved, low quadrant walls made of bull-faced red ashlar run alongside, punctuated by cast-iron gatepiers.
