8, Lowwood Road

This house dates to around 1840 and was likely designed by Walter Scott as part of the original Clifton Park development. It is constructed with lined stucco and has a concrete tiled roof. The house is arranged in an L-shape, with a prominent full-height gabled porch in the angle. The porch features a Tudor arched doorway with a hood mould that extends over flanking lancet windows. Above the doorway is a two-light mullioned window, also with a hood mould, and the gable apex is adorned with a stone shield and finial, believed to be the crest of Lord Baden Powell. A projecting gabled wing to the left has a full-height canted bay window to the first floor with sash windows divided by mullions; a larger lower sash window was inserted in the later 19th century. The gable above has coping. A coped-gabled range to the right has a full-height squared bay with two- and four-light mullioned windows. Interior features include an open-string staircase with stick balustrade and moulded newels, along with a skylight above the stair featuring a painted glass panel depicting a rural scene of cows by a river.
