Description
Merton Lodge is a house dating from the late 17th century, with significant alterations made in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is constructed of red brick, with the lower part in English bond and the upper part in English garden wall bond of five. The house features stucco dressings and a rendered gable end, topped with a slate roof that has deeply overhanging eaves and a bargeboard, along with two gable stacks.
The building is two storeys high with a garret and has a first-floor band. The five-storey front includes a central half-glazed panelled door set beneath a simple Greek Doric portico, flanked by single canted glazing bar sash bay windows. On the first floor, there are five glazing bar sashes, each with splayed rusticated stucco lintels.
