Description
This is a mid-19th century picturesque gothic lodge, originally known as Butlers Lodge and now referred to as Main Lodge, Glasserton House. The lodge is a single storey building with an attic, constructed of rubble walling with squared quoins. It has a three-bay front, featuring a central, rustic gabled porch with a chamfered pointed-arched doorway and a Gothic panelled door. Bipartite windows, featuring timber mullions and transoms, are located on either side of the porch. A pair of timber gabled dormers light the attic space. A canted window with a bipartite light is present on the west gable. At the rear is a projecting single-storey wing with paired gables, one of which is brick-built. All windows retain their original diamond-pane glazing. The lodge is characterised by deeply overhanging eaves with decorative barge boards and good slate roofs, topped with tall, paired, coped, and rendered stacks. The slate roofs suffered significant caved-in damage following a fire in October 1991.
