Description
The Tower Lodge is a small house that was originally built as a lodge in the 18th century and has since been altered. It features a combination of flint with rendered dressings and part Bath stone ashlar. The building has an irregular plan, consisting of part one storey and a three-storey octagonal tower on the north side. The tower includes rendered strings at each floor level, bonded quoins at the corners on the upper floors, and arcaded buttresses on the ground floor.
On the north side of the tower, there is one bay of 19th-century oriel windows with timber casements. The west side features a two-light stone mullioned window on the second floor, and there is a central door on the ground floor set within a stone doorcase that has engaged Ionic columns, an entablature, and a blocking course. The arches on the flanking faces of the door are glazed and have arched radiating heads. To the east, there is a one-storey wing that has a moulded cornice and a parapet.
