Description
Southsea Lodge is a house dating from around 1790, restored in the late 20th century. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a hipped roof covered in plain tiles and brick stacks on the left and right sides. The house is three storeys high and has four bays. The central doorway features a six-panel door with a radial glazed fanlight above. It is set in a recessed surround with panelled reveals and a soffit, flanked by engaged columns with a broken entablature and pediment above. On either side of the central bay are tripartite canted bays, each containing a central four-pane sash window and narrower flanking sashes, separated by pilasters. The first floor has four twelve-pane sash windows, each set under a flat, gauged brick arch. The second floor mirrors this with four nine-pane sash windows. A moulded stone band runs above the windows, topped by a coped parapet. At the rear are two- and three-storey projecting wings built in red brick with grey headers, with late 20th-century sash windows and an oriel window. The interior has not been inspected.
