Description
Western Lodge and Grey Lodge is a villa that has been divided into two separate houses. It dates from the early 19th century and incorporates an early 18th-century house in its rear wing. The exterior features incised stucco with a plinth and painted ashlar dressings, while the rear wall of the wing is constructed of English garden wall bond brick. The roof is made of Welsh slate and has rendered chimneys with yellow pots.
The main elevation is two storeys high with three bays on one side and four on the other. Giant pilasters frame the end bays, and the sash windows include glazing bars and projecting stone sills. The left side of the building has an entrance to Grey Lodge with a bracketed hood, while the right side features the main entrance in an Ionic porch and a two-storey square projecting bay under a hipped roof. The low-pitched hipped roof has ridge chimneys topped with octagonal pots. The rear wing contains 16-pane sash windows.
Inside, the villa retains original six-panel doors and architraves, as well as corniced chimney-pieces throughout. The entrance loggia has a tiled floor and arcaded windows. There is a reused early 18th-century staircase with a long flight and a long landing balustrade, featuring a panelled closed string, a moulded panelled handrail on turned balusters, and square newels with half-balusters. The kitchen in the rear wing has moulded beams.
