Description

The Main Lodge at Cherrytrees is an early 19th-century single-storey classical gate lodge designed in a T-plan. It features a rectangular block with a pyramidally roofed section to the west and a square-plan, piend-roofed block to the east, which is a sympathetic addition made in 1990 to replace an earlier structure. The lodge has a cream sandstone ashlar frontage facing the drive, with sandstone dressings on all elevations, while the side elevations are constructed of squared and snecked whinstone.

On the west elevation, there is a stone mullioned tripartite window located in a bowed bay at the center, topped with a curved roof, flanked by blank wall planes. The south elevation includes a centrally placed deep-set, flush-panelled door with glazed upper panels on the rectangular block to the left, and a window on the slightly recessed rear wing to the right.

The property is complemented by 2-leaf wrought-iron gates and two square ashlar gatepiers with cornices and caps located by the lodge. Additionally, there are two square ashlar piers with ashlar urn finials by the roadside. The quadrant walls are made of squared and snecked whinstone, featuring an ashlar sandstone base course and rounded coping. The piers and quadrant walls are contemporary with the lodge.
