Full Description
Lodge, built in circa 1870. It is a single-storey with attic, 2-bay, mid-Victorian, Tudor lodge gatehouse at the entrance to Bearhill (MAB37082), and is constructed of stugged coursers with flush margins. The southeast elevation has two bipartite windows, and an attic slit window in the projecting gable. The northeast elevation has a three-light canted bay window with an attic slit window above in the projecting gable, a porch with a blocking course in the re-entrant angle and a bipartite window to the north. The straight, skew-gabled, slated roof has wall head gablets, skew putts with ball finials, and two tall, paired, square-shafted chimney stacks. There is a roofed, modern, lean-to addition, which is harled, with a conservatory to the west. To the east of the house, the main gateway is flanked by foot gates, with octagonal, ashlar-capped gate piers and serpentine, curved, low wing walls with original cast-iron gates and railings. The high boundary wall to the southwest is capped with rubble with a boarded door, and a lintel and ashlar dressings.
