Description

West Lodge, part of Tunstall Independent School, is a small villa dating from around 1840, with later alterations from the late 19th century. It features a garden wall attached to the west, constructed of bond brick with an ashlar plinth and dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof with brick and ashlar chimneys. The wall is made of rubble with brick dressings.

The exterior is two storeys high with five windows. A one-storey porch has been added on the left, and there is a square projecting bay window on the right return. The central entrance has a half-glazed door with an overlight featuring glazing bars, set in high panelled reveals. This door is possibly a Sunderland type, fixed back permanently, and is framed by an ashlar doorcase with Tuscan columns and a high entablature topped with a blocking course. The windows have wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills, with giant angle pilasters. A later stone frieze with eaves brackets has been added, and the roof is hipped with chimneys at the ridge, left end, and rear.

The left porch includes a garden door and sidelights beneath a wide wedge stone lintel. The right return features a tripartite window in the projecting bays, adorned with a yellow-stain painted floral frieze, and a door has been inserted into a window on the right. The left return of the porch, which is on the bend of Tunstall Road, has internal steps within a stone surround that has a tongue-stopped chamfer, with "WEST LODGE" carved above a shaped arch.

Inside, the porch showcases high-quality decorated glass from around 1900, depicting bulrushes, lilies, birds, and foliage. Most windows are fitted with internal panelled shutters, and the entrance hall features an egg and dart stucco cornice along with other 19th-century stucco details. The high wall attached to the building extends from the porch on the left return along the western boundary of the garden, ramping up at the left over a door in brick jambs.
