Description
The Lodge and Gate Piers at Parton House, built around 1884, is a single-storey and attic picturesque rustic lodge. It features rubble walling with painted raised margins. The central doorway is framed by a timber gabled porch and a panelled door. There are bipartite windows on the ground floor, and a pair of gabled bipartite dormers that rise through the roof, although all windows are currently boarded up. The lodge has deeply overhanging slate roofs adorned with a decorative pattern of fish-scale slates, and red ceramic cresting with corniced end stacks.
The gatepiers consist of four rusticated ashlar gatepiers topped with ball finials, arranged in inner and outer pairs and linked by a curved wall.
