Description
Bishopton Lodge is a house, later converted into flats, built in 1842 and restored in the 1980s. It was designed for William Burman as part of a development plan for Bishopton Spa, which was ultimately unsuccessful. The house is constructed of painted brick with ashlar dressings, featuring a fishscale tile roof and brick end stacks with 20th-century diagonal shafts. It is built in a Tudor style, with two gabled rear ranges.
The main two-storey, symmetrical three-bay front has bays articulated by pilasters. Tudor arches define the gabled outer bays, which are adorned with fishscale bargeboards and fascia. The recessed entrance is topped by an elliptical arch with an architrave and fanlight over a 20th-century half-glazed door, flanked by pointed side lights. Windows have brick sills, hollow-chamfered reveals, and label moulds to cross-casements. A canted bay window is present on the ground floor to the right, also with similar casements. A verandah featuring fluted Doric columns with fluted capitals, projecting hipped ends, and fishscale fascia is attached to the front.
The left return has a top brick cornice and windows with sashes containing 4, 12, 6/9, and 8/12 panes. The right return has a fascia board and a projecting stack; the windows are in 20th-century frames, including French windows. The rear of the building is characterised by two gables flanking a smaller gable, with a 20th-century entrance.
