Description
North Lodge and Gate Piers at Arden House was designed by John Burnet in 1868. This single-storey lodge is built in an L-shape and constructed from stugged, squared, and snecked sandstone, featuring ashlar margins and dressings. The lodge has chamfered reveals, a jerkin-headed gable on the outer left, and a tripartite basket-arched window at ground level with a relieving arch above it. To the right, there is a porch located in the re-entrant angle, which has a piend and platform roof supported by a colonnette. A window is situated at the center of the outer right bay.
The windows are timber sash and case, and the roof is covered with grey slate, accented by filigreed red terracotta roof ridging and rendered apex stacks.
The boundary wall and gate piers consist of a squared and snecked rubble wall topped with ashlar slab coping that steps down to a lower wall, along with decorative cast-iron railings. The gate piers are square and designed in a Tudoresque style.
