Description

Quarry Lodge is a house, now divided into five flats, that dates back to 1825, with alterations and additions made in the 1840s. The building is constructed of stucco and features tile roofs with stucco stacks. It has an irregular plan and is designed in a picturesque Gothick style. The house is two storeys high and includes two gables, with a single-storey wing projecting to the right and an attached octagonal tower to the left.

The building showcases embattled parapets and coped gables. The left gable features embattled coping and flanking octagonal turrets with slits and string courses, as well as a two-storey canted bay window with double-chamfered mullioned and transomed lights arranged in a 1:3:1 pattern, each with a cornice. The right gable has a finial, and the ground floor canted bay window has a 1:2:1-light window, while a later first-floor canted bay window has stop-chamfered openings. The right wing has a hipped roof and a canted bay window with a hipped roof and 1:3:1-light transomed casements.

The tower features string courses and single-chamfered lights above and below a double-chamfered mullioned window with two trefoil-headed lights and a label. The connecting wall has a cross-slit. The right return includes an embattled parapet to the wing and a two-storey, two-window rear wing, along with a single-storey wing with an embattled parapet at the right end. The eaves are wide, and the segmental-headed entrance has a porch with panelled angle buttresses, a cornice, and a brattished parapet, along with an overlight and canopy above a half-glazed door. The windows have 20th-century casements with triangular-headed lights, and there are end stacks.

The rear of the building features a dated escutcheon with the letters "FFSR" on the gable. The varied gabled wings include one with a single-chamfered light that has a 4-centred head and an angel corbel above, as well as a return gableted slit and some original windows. Originally known as Lower Borrowcop Villa, it was called Freeford Villa in the 1850s and became Quarry Lodge by 1861. Quarry Lodge is an interesting example of Picturesque design.
