Description

Ranger's Lodge is a detached villa built in 1832, located in Hyde Park, City of Westminster. The building is constructed of stock brick and features a slate roof. It stands two storeys tall with a basement and has a three-window wide entrance front facing east. The central entrance includes a six-panel door topped by a patterned semicircular fanlight. Flanking the entrance bay are two full-height canted bays, each with recessed glazing bar sash windows set under flat gauged arches. The villa has a double pitch roof behind a stone-coped parapet, and there is a lower service wing to the northwest, which has a half-hipped slate roof.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 51% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
