History

The lodge was built in 1889 to a design by the Chester architects Douglas and Fordham for the 1st Duke of Westminster. The ground floor has since been converted into a restaurant.[1]

Architecture

The house is built in brick with stone bands and dressings on a stone plinth. The hipped roof has red tiles with lead finials. As a whole the house has 1½ storeys and is in two bays. It has three chimneys with red-brick barley-sugar flues and stone plinths and caps. The window openings are mullioned, and contain casement windows. There are two single-storey buildings at the rear, one with a gabled roof, the other with a hipped roof.[1]
