Bovingdon Lodge

Bovingdon Lodge is a house, likely dating from the 18th century or earlier, that was enlarged in the early 19th century. It is constructed with a brick facade rendered with Roman cement and has a hipped slate roof. The house is a large, rectangular building with its narrow end facing south towards the road. The south front has two storeys on the left side, featuring a stringcourse and three sash windows on each floor. The windows are recessed and have blind boxes and 6/6 panes. A six-panel moulded door with a rectangular fanlight is located on the left-hand side, along with wide, bracketed eaves. The eastern part of the house, which is three storeys high and two windows wide, has a porch with six-panel moulded double doors and a segmental Adam fanlight. It features recessed triple sash windows with small panes, and French doors to the garden on the east side. The property was formerly known as Darley Ash around 1700 and the name was changed by Sir James Colliton, a fact recorded on benefaction boards in the local parish church.
