Woodlands Lodge

Woodlands Lodge is a house dating to 1901, constructed of red brick with pebbledashing above the ground floor, and topped with a slate roof. It is designed in the Arts and Crafts style. The main façade faces west, overlooking the garden, and is rectangular with a two-storey northern service range and later ground floor extensions to the south elevation. The west-facing ground floor features two wide bay windows, each containing five unequally hung 10-pane sashes, and similar single sashes to the sides, all united by a keyed arch above a continuous cornice and parapets. The parapets to the windows are decorated with painted swag motifs, with a blind central panel above the arch. The first floor mirrors this arrangement with a bay window to the left and a four-light window to the right, also with unequally hung sashes. A continuous deep bracketed cornice sits above, and a large pedimented gable with similar coping completes the upper section. Within the gable to the attic is a five-light window with similar sashes, except for a blind central panel. Above this is painted plasterwork featuring a cartouche with foliage decoration on either side, dated 1901. Steeply pitched roofs are punctuated by irregularly placed corniced ridge stacks. The north front has an advanced ground floor to the right and a projecting service range to the left. The main entrance is positioned centrally, sheltered by a bracketed hood, with a half-glazed panelled door. To the right of the door are paired unequally hung 6-pane sashes set below a segmental arch. The service range features an unequally hung 9-pane sash and a panelled door, both below similar segmental arches. Above the door is a balustraded parapet and a round arched staircase window. To the service range above is a bracketed bay window with four 4-pane sashes, above a painted swagged plinth. An open pedimented attic dormer with paired sashes is positioned to the right. The interior includes an elaborate staircase hall, characterised by round arches to the ground floor and a galleried landing with ramped handrails, reeded stick balusters, and tapering corniced newel posts. The majority of original doors and fireplaces remain in their original positions.
