Appraisal
Dating to 1869, this lodge is located at the back entrance to Gloster House and provides access to the farm and outbuildings. The architectural detailing displayed on the lodge is characteristic of late nineteenth-century styling and contrasts with the emphatically eighteenth-century main house. The overhanging eaves and hoods to upper floor windows create interest and are appealing features of the lodge.
