A lodge is shown on the 1st Edition OS Map (1856), on the other side of the Estate drive. The architect for the extant lodge is uncertain, however, it is possible that Robert Rowand Anderson may have designed the lodge since he was working on the Queen's Hall in Charlestown at this time and the styles are comparable.
