Lodge, Leys Castle

This is a single-storey lodge, likely dating from 1833. It has an irregular plan and was probably built as an entrance lodge to Leys Castle, also dated 1833. The lodge is constructed of whitewashed rubble with dressings of self-coloured tooled ashlar. The NW front is symmetrical with three bays, featuring a projecting, canted porch in the centre and canted gables. Side lights are positioned on either side of the entrance. Windows and doorways are topped with four-centred arched heads. Pairs of shafts are linked by coping to central ridge stacks. The roof is finished in facetted piended slate. A similar porch is located on the irregular SW elevation, which connects to a rear wing. Later piended dormers break the wallhead of the rear wing. The lodge has mainly four-pane glazing and varied ridge stacks, all under slate roofs.
