Description

Adair Lodge is a house that was converted into a residential home in the mid-20th century. The original house, built in the early 19th century for Sir Shafto Adair of Flixton Hall, was rebuilt in the late 19th century and underwent alterations in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of red brick and features hipped roofs made of machine tiles, with an offset ridge stack. It has a U-shaped plan and stands two storeys tall.

The exterior includes a recessed central block with three-light casements on the first floor. The gabled roof has a central gablet and a higher gablet at the back, which is adorned with a statue. The ground floor features a projecting one-storey entrance hall that aligns with the side wings, showcasing a four-centred doorway beneath a gable. The roof of the hall is glazed. The south block, also two storeys, has a gable end facing the road, which is lit by a single-light casement on the first floor. There are internal gable end stacks on both the east and west sides. The north return has two-light casements on both floors, all under hoodmoulds with label stops, while the ground floor casements also include transoms.

Inside, the entrance hall is decorated with large-framed panelling that leads to a Tudor-style staircase featuring twisted balusters.
