The inclusion of a gamekeeper's lodge at Hilton Park provides an indication of the power and wealth of the estate. Although it is now derelict, this modest house is enlivened and enhanced by decorative features such as terracotta ridge cresting and finials, timber sliding sash windows which provide architectural interest, and a date plaque.
