Esthwaite Lodge, Grade II listed building in Hawkshead, England.
Esthwaite Lodge stands as a two-storey stuccoed villa with three bays and a slate hipped roof, featuring a Doric porch at its entrance point.
Thomas Alcock Beck commissioned architect George Webster to design this Neoclassical Greek Revival residence, which was completed in 1821 for his personal use.
The property housed novelist Francis Brett Young from 1929 to 1932, during which time he wrote several literary works including Black Roses and Jim Redlake.
The Youth Hostels Association currently operates the lodge, offering various accommodation options including shared dorms, private rooms, tipis, and camping facilities.
The original owner designed the grounds with gradients suitable for his invalid chair, making it an early example of accessibility considerations in architecture.
