Cardew Lodge

Cardew Lodge is a two-storey gatehouse in Dalston constructed from red and calciferous sandstone with green slate roofing. The building displays three main façades, stone-framed windows with leaded panes, and a distinctive circular turret.

The building was constructed in the 1870s for Major-General W.H. Lowther and underwent architectural modifications in 1889 by C.J. Ferguson. Ferguson subsequently moved into the residence and left his mark on the structure.

The architectural elements, including stone mullioned windows, leaded panes, and a circular turret, represent traditional English building techniques of the Victorian period.

The building holds Grade II listing status and is protected as a heritage site, which governs its upkeep and repairs. Visitors can view the exterior facade and gatehouse from the street while respecting the privacy of the property.

A carved wooden panel positioned above the recessed entrance bears the construction date and a historical inscription. This handcrafted detail serves as a record of the care taken during the building's creation.
