Background
History
The National Heritage List for England states that the design was probably by Alfred Waterhouse. The authors of the Buildings of England series also attribute the design to Douglas. The lodge was built in 1877–79 for the 1st Duke of Westminster.
Architecture
The lodge is built in brick with stone banding and dressings on a stone plinth in 1½ storeys. It is roofed with red tiles. It has two gables, each with pargeting decorated with foliated geometric patterns. The windows have moulded stone surrounds; those on the ground floor have camber arches and on the upper floor the window arches are semicircular. Over the doors are Tudor style arches. The whole building is irregularly shaped and this is emphasised by the addition of buttresses.
