Description
Boston Lodge is a large house that has been converted into office premises. It dates from the late 18th century, with later additions from the 19th century. The building is constructed of ashlar magnesian limestone and features stone slate roofs. It has two storeys and a façade with a 2:3:2 bay arrangement, where the outer bays are set back. To the left of the center, there is a raised three-storey rear wing.
At the center of the building, stone steps lead up to a wide six-panel door topped with a fanlight that has radial glazing bars. This entrance is flanked by pilasters supporting a Doric sandstone porch, which includes a fluted frieze and a dentilled cornice. Above the door is a sash window with glazing bars, set in a flush wooden architrave on a projecting stone sill and beneath a flat arch. The flanking bays feature original two-storey canted bay windows with projecting sills, also fitted with sashes that have glazing bars and concealed lintels.
The side wings contain four-pane sashes below sashes with glazing bars, and the building has a dentilled eaves cornice. The center has hipped bay-window roofs and ashlar gable copings with rendered end stacks. The roofs of the side wings have hipped ends, with a late 19th-century stone end stack on the left and a rendered stack at the left hip, as well as a similar stack beyond the right hip.
Adjoining the left wing is a Gothic Revival doorway, which features a carved fruit and ball finial above it. The rear of the building includes a two-storey porch made of white brick, featuring a moulded round arch and keystone with a heraldic device and the motto 'Vincent qui se Vincent'. The right wing has a white-brick top storey and is inscribed with 'M.C.V. 1895 E. M. V'. On the left return, the side wing is made of rock-faced stone and displays the date 1885 above a first-floor window. The right return features a bay window to the left of a French window, situated beneath a dentilled cornice, with two 16-pane sashes on the first floor.
