Description
Cumberland Lodge is a large house, now serving as a college, built in the mid-18th century. It was partly damaged by fire and subsequently refaced in the early 19th century in Gothic style by Wyattville, with further enlargements made by Salvin in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of red brick and features a low-pitched slate roof that is cross-gabled at the right. It has an L-plan layout, with the long side facing northeast.
The exterior consists of three storeys, with a brick plinth, an elaborate cornice over the first floor, a brick eaves cornice, and a low parapet that is embattled at the rear. There are four rectangular ridge chimneys topped with clay pots. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, featuring gauged brick arches that are flat at the front and pointed on the ground and first floors at the rear.
The entrance front, facing northeast, has 16 bays. On the left, there is an octagonal turret with an embattled parapet that rises above the roof level and a stone cornice. The projecting entrance porch, located in the sixth bay from the left, has a high brick plinth, a brick cornice, and a parapet, along with rusticated quoins and recessed panels on either side of the double doors, which have a cornice hood supported by scrolled brackets. The porch includes a plain overlight and sidelights. Above the porch is a tall, canted bay window that spans two floors, featuring stone mullions and transoms, stone jambs, and a cornice above. The second floor was added sometime in the later 19th century. The interior has not been inspected.
