Description
Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge, built c.1790, with flat-roofed extension to rear and porch to front. Now in use as private house. Hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves, rendered chimneystacks and with roof-light to rear. Painted render to walls. Square-headed timber latticed windows with tooled limestone sills. Timber panelled door fronted by porch with pitched slate pediment, supported by square-plan timber posts. Rubble stone wall with hedge to front of site with wrought-iron pedestrian gate.
Appraisal
This structure retains its charm through such features as the timber lattice windows and timber porch. Although the building has been extended, its front façade remains unchanged, adding architectural significance to the building. The lodge occupies a key position opposite the entrance gates to Springhill House.
