Description
Park Lodge is a house dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, with later extensions from the 18th century and a further addition said to be from 1871. The construction utilizes red and brown brick in mixed bonds, although much of it is painted. The roofs are tiled, with the northern slope of the later 18th-century block slated. The 1871 addition is of grey brick with stone dressings, mostly rendered, and has tile roofs.
The house comprises two parallel ranges, the northern one being the earlier. It is two storeys high with cellars. The facade facing Putney Bridge Road is symmetrical and reflects the details of the 1871 addition. A part-glazed door is set through a plain first-floor band. Flanking the door are two-light mullion windows dating from around 1871, featuring Tudor arched heads and hood moulds. Each light has a small-paned sash window; the upper panes retain Y glazing bars. There are three similar windows on the first floor, though the left and right lower sashes lack their original glazing bars. The brick bond ends short of the right-hand end where exposed brickwork demonstrates a Flemish bond, which suggests an infill for a former lobby or extension to the north. A continuous rendered plinth is present. A former bathroom block to the west has been removed, revealing an original stack and patched brickwork with 19th-century diagonally-set shafts. An upper-storey window has been reset from a rear wing. The rear block, once symmetrical, now has inserted windows on both storeys with detailing similar to the northern block, including an opposing doorway beneath a slightly stilted head and overlight with a moulded stone hood.
The 1871 wing to the east is asymmetrical, two storeys high, with an off-centre entrance paired with a sash window to the right. Above are paired first-floor sashes beneath gablets. A canted bay to the left features a sash window beneath a gablet. The upper sashes, the central sash in the bay, and the overlight to the door retain Y glazing bars. There are heavy, foliate stops to the hood mould over the door, and a similarly detailed part-glazed door and windows. A moulded rendered first-floor cill band also serves as the coping for the parapet of the canted bay.
Inside, the northwest room has an exposed stack, which has been altered; the original bressummer has been mostly removed and replaced in 1988. An exposed chamfered beam with worn lambs' tongue stops and some square joists remain. A vertically sliding shutter is also present. Two 18th-century two-panel doors with original hinges were removed during inspection and are intended for rehanging. The north range has a soft wood staggered purlin roof, likely from the later 18th century, while the rear range has a shallower pitched roof, presumably dating from the 19th century.
