Description

East Lodge in Newton Don, designed by Robert Smirke around 1815, is a single-storey, three-bay, rectangular-plan building in the Greek Revival style. It features an astylar gatelodge with a projecting semi-octagonal entrance bay and a later rendered extension with a piend roof at the rear. The exterior is made of polished sandstone ashlar and includes a base course, a deep banded entablature, and wreath paterae above shallow corner pilasters. The windows are corniced with projecting cills, and the front door is timber-panelled within a carved architrave.

The windows have 8-pane glazing in timber sash and case style, with 4-pane glazing flanking the doorway. The roof is either flat or very shallowly pitched, and there is an ashlar stack at the rear featuring yellow and red cans. The building also has cast-iron rainwater goods.

The gates and gatepiers consist of three ashlar gatepiers that, along with the north wall of the lodge, create two pedestrian gateways and a central carriageway. The northern gateway of the carriageway is a replacement made of artificial stone, and there are iron gates topped with acorn finials. Curved rendered screen walls are present to the northwest and southeast of the gates.
