Walton Lodge

Walton Lodge is a house dating from the 18th century, with alterations and additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is constructed of stuccoed stone, rising from an ashlar gritstone plinth, and features a moulded eaves cornice, rendered ridge stacks with moulded caps, and a slated roof laid to diminishing courses. The earlier part of the house is located to the east and has a shallow hipped roof behind a shallow parapet, while the added range to the west has a steeper hipped roof.

The main north elevation is symmetrical, with two storeys and three bays. It has a central doorway that is enclosed by a shallow curved porch supported by four Tuscan columns, featuring a plain frieze and cornice, and topped with a 20th-century iron balustrade. The entrance consists of a six-panelled door with raised and fielded panels, accompanied by a semicircular fanlight with intersecting glazing bars. On either side of the doorway are tripartite glazing bar sashes set within stone frames, with plain mullions dividing the openings. The central sash has four panes by three panes, while the flanking sashes have two panes by one pane.

To the west, there is a lower range with four bays, linked by a band course between the windows of the earlier range, which defines the sills of the first-floor windows in the lower range. The ground floor window openings were originally four panes by three panes with glazing bar sashes, but now feature two 20th-century pivot windows. The upper floor windows are all from the 20th century. The five-bay rear elevation includes four panes by three panes glazing bar sashes, a central tripartite garden doorway with flanking sashes, and 20th-century glazed double doors beneath a segmental fanlight. Some sashes on the east side have lost their glazing bars. The lower range has a hipped wing that leads into the garden, featuring four panes by three panes glazing bar sashes.

Inside, the building has been much altered, but there is a notable 19th-century cast-iron balustraded stair leading to a central landing. Throughout the house, there are 19th-century six-panelled doors and 19th-century chimneypieces in the principal ground-floor rooms.
