GV II

Lodge to Hesketh Crescent (qv), possibly contemporary with and by the same architects as Hesketh Crescent, built 1846-48 to the designs of John Tapley Harvey and William Harvey. Snecked local grey limestone, partly rendered with painted rusticated quoins; hipped slate roof; stack with rendered shaft with projecting cornice. PLAN: Rectangular double-depth plan, the main entrance facing east, towards Hesketh Crescent; rooms heated from axial stack. Quoining suggests that the Lodge has been extended to the rear (west). C20 extension on north side. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 2-window range. Deep projecting eaves with eaves band and upward curving brackets. Round-headed windows with proud stuccoed architraves, arranged in ones, pairs and triplets and glazed with 2 over 2-pane sashes with horizontal glazing bars. The windows on the east section, probably the first phase, have sill blocks. Doorway on east side with gabled porch hood on shaped brackets. INTERIOR: Not inspected but may retain features of interest.
