History

The lodge was built in 1877–79 and designed by the Chester architect John Douglas.[2] The patron was the 1st Duke of Westminster.[1]

Architecture

The house is built in a T-plan with 1½ storeys in Jacobethan style. It is constructed in red brick with scattered sandstone blocks; the hipped roofs are tiled and have terracotta finials. The upper storey of the main part of the house is timber framed and jettied with pargeting in the panels; the gable end contains a four-light window and above this is tile hanging. Under the gable is a carved bressumer. To the west is an oak-framed porch on a sandstone plinth. The doorway has a Tudor arch above which is a pargeted panel. The rear wing is single-storeyed.[1]
