C20 additions and alterations. By Samuel Wyatt. Yellow sandstone
ashlar with plain tile roofs. Two single storey lodges connected by a
range of drive gates. Road front; Central double drive gates with
arrow head finials to the palings, quatrefoils to the dogbars and
crescent-shaped strengthening bars. Square piers to either side with
banded rustication and pyramidal caps. Double wicket gates to either
side of these similar to the drive gates but without the
strengthening bars and lateral demi-piers,which are of similar design
to those at centre and attached to the lodges. The lodges are
similar, each having a slightly projecting plinth and a central
slightly recessed archway with voussoirs over and containing a sash
window of 3 x 4 panes. Each has a pyramidal roof and a central square
chimney stack. The fronts facing the drive each have a central
doorway. Both lodges have lateral brick extensions (neither of which
are included in this item).
