Description
Kingsbury Lodge is a double-span house dating to the later 19th century. It has two main storeys, an attic, and a basement. The windows are arranged irregularly. The front, facing the road, has two windows beneath two gables that extend across the whole house, with a single attic window in the right-hand gable. The roof is steeply pitched and covered with slate, featuring a parapet along the returns. The walls are constructed of flint, while the gables, parapet, quoins, and plinth are made of brick. The windows are sash windows with two and five lights each. A two-storey projection is located on the right-hand side, also with a parapet. A Tudor arched door is situated on the left-hand side, sheltered by a gabled porch.
