Description
Lake House is an officer's house located at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, built in 1810 by architect John Sanders, who worked for the Barrack Department. The building features painted render, with ridge and front lateral stacks, and a slate hipped roof.
It has a double depth plan and is designed in the late Georgian style. The house is two storeys tall with a basement and has a three-window range. The square plan includes matching three-window sides, a moulded first floor cill band, a cornice, and a parapet. The entrance front has steps with a wrought iron rail on the left and a ramped, coped wall on the right leading to a left-hand porch. This porch has moulded coping, a narrow flat-headed doorway with an overlight, a six-panel door, and an iron overthrow lantern. To the right, there is a shallow single-storey section that projects with three narrow lights. The ground floor windows have architraves with cornices, while the first-floor windows feature eared architraves with recessed six-over-six pane sashes. Above the porch is a blind window, and to the right are two reeded lead hoppers inscribed with "G III R/1810."
The interior has not been inspected. There is also an attached basement area wall that extends along the left-hand return, featuring a corner moulded cast iron lamp base. Lake House, along with Oakgrove House, forms a pair of matching lodges and is part of a significant group with the Old College.
