What is recorded here
Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge, built c.1880, with attic storey, having lower gabled single-storey extension to north gable and gabled porch to front. Pitched pantile roofs with brick chimneystack and replacement carved timber bargeboards having timber finials. Rubble sandstone walls with dressed limestone quoins. Square-headed openings with brick surrounds, having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with stone sills and replacement timber half door. Sandstone wall to rear yard. Rendered piers and walls to west.
This gate lodge, sometimes known as Fortescue Lodge or Red House Lodge, forms an interesting group with the similarly-styled Fortescue (see 22402309). The combination of dressed limestone, rubble sandstone, red brick and the pantile roof provides textural interest to the gate lodge.
