Description
The Lodge at Abbott's Ladies Home is a lodge for an almshouse built around 1870 by F. Swindon-Barker. It is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features slate roofs with ashlar coped gables, kneelers, and ball finials. The building has a single reduced gable and a tall ridge stack, along with a chamfered plinth. It is a single-storey structure with a slightly off-centre doorway that has a moulded ashlar bow-headed door surround and a part-glazed six-panel door. To the right of the entrance is a single three-light chamfered cross mullion window with glazing bar casements. To the left, there is a slightly projecting gabled wing that includes a canted bay window with a hipped stone roof and a four-light chamfered cross mullion window with glazing bar.
