Lodge, Duchray Castle

Duchray Castle Lodge is an entrance lodge built around 1825, with mid and late 20th century additions to the east. It is a single-storey, double-fronted building with a rectangular plan, and the original block features a symmetrical design with deep overhanging eaves and semicircular panels above the windows. The original structure is made of coursed dressed stone with painted ashlar dressings, while the later additions are harled. The original block has roll moulded architraves and stugged long and short surrounds on the principal east elevation, along with quoins at the corners.

On the east elevation, there is a central entrance with a replacement panelled timber door and a rectangular fanlight above it. Flanking the entrance are bipartite windows with rounded mullions. The north elevation has a window to the left of the gable end, with a mid-20th century addition to the right that includes two windows. The south elevation features a window to the right of the gable end, with a later addition adjoining to the left. The west elevation is mostly obscured by the mid and late 20th century additions, but there is a window in the mid-20th century section to the left and two windows in the later section to the right.

The original block has 2-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is grey slate, sloping down to a lower eaves level at the rear, while the mid-20th century addition has a piended grey slate roof and the later addition has a flat asphalted roof. There are harled gablehead stacks on both the north and south sides of the original block, with the north stack featuring a band course and round cans on each.

The interior was not inspected in 2000. Surrounding the lodge, there is a low coped boundary wall topped with cast-iron railings featuring spiked finials, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, on the east side. There is a gateway and a pedestrian entrance with moulded cast-iron gateposts at the north end, along with a cast-iron gate with spiked finials. To the south, there is a low rubble wall with rubble coping.
