Description
South Lodge at Dunchurch Lodge Estate is a lodge for a country house, built between 1908 and 1909 by Gilbert Fraser of Liverpool for John Lancaster. It was originally one of a pair intended as gardeners' cottages. The building features thin brown brick with stone dressings and hipped Westmoreland slate roofs, which have a prominent coped ridge stack.
The lodge is two storeys high and consists of one front bay with three bays in total. The ground floor windows have stone surrounds and mullions, while the first-floor windows are wooden hipped dormers through the eaves. All windows are casements with their original leaded glazing. The front includes a plain doorway with a shouldered half-round stone hood on the right, a three-light window to the left, and a three-light dormer above. The right return has two single-light windows and a four-light dormer above. There is a slightly projecting bay on the right, extended in the mid-20th century, featuring two three-light windows and a four-light dormer above. The rear has a late 20th-century patio window and a four-light dormer above it. The left return includes attached single-storey outbuildings and a yard.
Inside, the main room features a cornice, and the dogleg stair has square newels with a balustrade that has been renewed in glass. Several original three-panel doors remain. This lodge is included as an important element within the Dunchurch Lodge Estate.
