These are 2 small Lodges flanking the west entrance to the Park. C18 small square
buildings of stone rubble with ashlar quoins, dentilled wooden eaves cornice and
hipped slate roofs. They appear to be of one storey only but actually are of 2 -
s 2 w each. On the east and west sides are round-headed sash ws of 18 panes each
in rusticated stone architrave surrounds with their glazing bars intact. Of these
ws the 6 lowest panes light the ground floor room and form a portion which can be
raised. The 6 centre panes above them are blacked-out and fixed. The 6 topmost
panes, which form a lunette shape, light the first floor room but on the ground
level and the two centre panes of these open like casements. On the inner side
of the Lodges facing the drive are large round-headed rusticated archways containing
ordinary classical wooden doorways with pilasters, dentilled cornices and doors
of 6 fielded panels set in arcading which is now colour-washed. On the outer sides
the Lodges are continued into extensions of one 1 (that of the south lodge recessed)
which are plain rectangular buildings like a flanking wall with one w in each and
quoins at the outer ends.
