Pavilion Lodge, Childwickbury Stud

MATERIALS: red brick with decorative timber blind arcading applied to outer wall faces, hipped roof clad in plain red ceramic tiles with bonnet tiles to the hips and brick chimney stack.

PLAN: short range of two rooms.

EXTERIOR: the single-storey building has an off-set plinth in darker brick and exposed rafters at the eaves. The long east elevation has to the left a two-light casement with glazing bars and to the right a timber plank door, now clad in plywood. The long west elevation has similar windows at either end. The short north side is lit by a similar window, and the south side has a central door, also clad in plywood. The timber-framed arcading applied to the wall faces above the plinth comprises plain square posts at the corners of the building and on the sides of the apertures, all painted green. The intermediate posts are similar and painted green, except that their upper parts are semicircular with turned mouldings, painted white, rising to the level of the impost blocks. From these spring the curved timbers forming pointed arches, painted white, below the eaves. The intermediate rail at sill level is painted green. The roof is crowned end to end by a glazed lantern with a hipped roof which has exposed rafters at the eaves and a central ridge stack with oversailing brick courses and two tapered pots. The long sides are lit by six three-light windows with vertical glazing bars, and the short sides by one four-light window.

INTERIOR: the larger south room has a vertical boarded dado and a boarded ceiling to the rafters below the lantern light. It has a four-panelled door, simple timber fire surround (the fireplace is now boarded over), a fitted cupboard to the right of the fireplace, and a red clay tiled floor. The smaller north room was not accessible but is probably similar and has a fitted corner cupboard.
