Abbey Lodge

Abbey Lodge is a lodge to Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, dated 1856 on a plaque and possibly designed by E.W. Pugin, who was working on extensions to the Abbey at that time. The building is constructed of granite rubble with stone window dressings and features an ornamental tile roof, flanked by granite chimneys.

The lodge is one storey with an attic and has two small bays. The ground floor windows have paired arched lights in chamfered stone surrounds, topped with Tudor hoodmoulds. The upper windows are located in gabled semi-dormers with cusped bargeboards. Below the upper windows, there are flush panels of white rubble stone inlaid with dark stone crosses. The central door features a four-centred arch made of chamfered stone and is also topped with a Tudor hoodmould. All ground floor openings are supported by granite relieving arches. Above the door, there is a date panel with a cross. The gable end facing the road includes a two-light window, a small statue in an arched niche with a hoodmould, and additional flush panels with geometric motifs.
