Hunting and fishing lodge for the 1st Earl of Ellesmere, now
house. Mid C19. Pebble-dashed brick and timber-framing with
slate, clay tile and stone slate roofs. 3 x 4 bays with 2
storeys, a picturesque tower at one corner and single-storey
accommodation around an entrance courtyard which includes
stables, a gun room and a pheasantry. The lean-to roof of
the entrance loggia separates the timber-framed first floor
from the pebble-dashed groundfloor. Panelled double-doors
with casements to either side. Bay 2 is gabled with a 3-
light mullion and transom window on the first floor whereas
bay 3 has a gabled eaves dormer. The tower in bay 1 forms an
interesting feature; it has small oriel windows on the upper
stage, coved jetties below gables on each side and a
classical cupola and vane. Brick ridge chimney stacks with
diagonally set shafts and blue header diaper patterns.
Decorative patterns in fishscale tiles to the courtyard
buildings. The rear elevation has 3 uneven gables one
projecting as a wing which has a canted bay window on the
ground floor with arched lights and marginal glazing bars.
The left elevation has a rustic loggia under a lean-to roof;
it continues round a semi-circular bay wndow. Above the bay
is a stepped 3-light window with arched heads.
