A well detailed Old English style gate lodge, originally associated with the nearby Clifton Park House (now a roofless ruin). Formerly the butler's residence, the lodge dates from 1880 and the time of Robert Henry Elliot, who inherited Clifton estate in 1873. Despite the glazing of the verandah and various additions at rear, the lodge retains some good detailing - the impressive walls and gatepiers indicating that this was one of the main entrances to the house. Other listings within the estate include Clifton Park stables, the ice house and the walled garden (see separate entries).
