Croydon Lodge

Croydon Lodge is a house built in the mid-19th century, constructed from rendered and colourwashed brick with slate roofs. The building features a main block and a service wing to the north-east, with the south-west front facing the garden. It is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with the central bay projecting forward under a pediment. The corners are accentuated with rusticated quoins.

On the ground floor, the centre bay has a single-storey canted bay with French windows, flanked by tripartite sash windows that have plate glass and no glazing bars. A deep moulded string course runs around the building at first-floor level. The first floor has a tripartite sash window in the centre, similar to those below, with simple plate-glass sashes on either side. The eaves cornice is deep and features rich modillions, continuing around the main block and into the pediment. The hipped roof has two symmetrical gault brick stacks on the front slope.

The south-east return of the building includes a central single-storey bay with similar details. The entrance front, facing the road to the north-west, has two bays with an elaborate door bay defined by rusticated quoins. The entrance features a four-panelled door with glazed upper panels, a plain arched fanlight, and a round-arched doorcase with pilasters on either side that rise to scrolled brackets below a projecting entablature. There is a blind window to the right and two plate-glass sashes on the first floor, with the first-floor and eaves cornices continuing.

The service wing has two bays and two storeys, featuring one tripartite sash on the ground floor and two ordinary sashes with glazing bars on the first floor. It has a gabled roof that is hipped to the north-east, with a ridge stack.

Inside, there is a stick baluster staircase with a ramped and wreathed handrail, and plain marble fire surrounds in various rooms.
