324, Portswood Road

No 324 on Portswood Road is a building likely constructed around 1770 by General Stibbert as a lodge for the now-gone Portswood Park. It is designed in the Strawberry Hill Gothic style and has a square plan with corner towers. The building is two storeys high and finished in stucco. The front faces the road and features a blocked central pointed door. The upper floor has a quatrefoil window, while the upper parts of the towers have small pointed windows, with the right-hand window replaced by a sash. The corner towers project slightly and have a decorative band that runs across the center. There is a battlemented parapet at the center, and the towers have a sham top floor with small round windows and battlements. A chimney stack rises above a pediment on the front wall. The south front is similar but includes a central pointed door with a hood mould. The ground floor of the towers features pointed windows, and the upper floors have quatrefoil windows, with a central window consisting of three pointed lights.
