Description
Aston Lodge is a house built around 1840, likely designed by Charles Reed. It is constructed of stucco and features a Welsh slate roof with ridge cresting, showcasing a Tudor gothic style. The building has two storeys and a symmetrical entrance front with three gabled bays, highlighted by an advanced central gable that includes octagonal angle turrets. The entrance is set back in a four-centred archway, with a stilted arched window above it.
The right-hand bay features mullioned windows on both floors, which have latticed lights. The left-hand gable has a projecting canted bay window on the ground floor and a two-light traceried arched window above. On the north side, there is a late 19th-century polygonal conservatory added to the canted bay window of the left-hand gable, with a stilted arched wood mullioned and transomed window above, and the gable is accented by a string course. The right-hand bay includes a four-light mullioned window on the ground floor and a traceried casement window above in a gabled dormer with moulded kneelers. Aston Lodge is one of the earliest buildings in the development of Claughton, which was laid out by Reed for Sir William Jackson in the early 1840s.
