Overleigh Lodge, Grade II listed gatehouse in Handbridge, Chester, United Kingdom.
The T-shaped sandstone and brick lodge features a circular stair turret with a conical roof and mullioned windows throughout its structure.
Robert William Edis designed this entrance lodge in 1893 for the 1st Duke of Westminster as part of the Chester Approach to Eaton Hall.
The lodge incorporates yellow sandstone in its lower level and red brick with blue diapering in its upper section, reflecting Victorian architectural practices.
The structure maintains its original purpose as an entrance point along Duke's Drive, marking the approach to the larger Eaton Hall estate.
The building contains an elaborate central chimney stack and green Westmorland slate roofing, complemented by stone gate piers topped with urn finials.
