Description
Barford Lodge, located at 17 Church Lane, was originally the Longbridge Toll House on the Warwick to Stratford Turnpike. It was built in 1843 by D G Squirehill of Leamington for the Turnpike Trust and was moved to its current site in 1872 to serve as a lodge for Watchbury House. The building is constructed of brick, covered with painted render, and features elaborate mock decorative timber framing in the style of the early 17th century West Midlands. It has a steeply pitched clay tile roof, with all gables adorned with pierced bargeboards and moulded pendants. The lodge has a single storey and an F-shaped plan, with the north gabled cross wing possibly added in 1872. The east front includes a gabled porch supported by two miniature Ionic columns that rest on the backs of reclining lions. The windows are two-light casements, each with a semicircular head, set in timber surrounds that feature pilasters and relief carving in the spandrels. There are two rendered brick chimney stacks, each topped with two polygonal shafts.
