Box Bush Lodge at entrance to The Hendre

This is a gate lodge, built in a theatrically-eclectic style. Constructed of coursed sandstone rubble, it features red tiled roofs with red cockscomb ridge tiles and a lead-clad flèche. The lodge is a relatively small, single-storey building, with a symmetrical east-facing facade defined by the prominence of its features. A very wide, semi-circular verandah dominates the centre, formed by wooden posts with arch-bracing to the eaves of a large, conical roof topped with a finial. Underneath the roof, a bowed porch contains a board door with Gothic-style strap hinges, and a chamfered one-light window on either side. A tall flèche rises from the centre of the roof, decorated with chevron ribbing and a delicately-enriched urn finial, and the building is finished with emphatic crow-stepped gable parapets that terminate in ball finials. Each gable wall incorporates a semi-circular bay window with a smaller, semi-conical roof, and a rectangular service wing extends to the rear.
