Master's Lodge

This is a late 19th-century (1899) house, originally built as the Master's Lodge for St Cross Hospital in Winchester, and now divided into two dwellings. It is attributed to Charles James Blomfield. The construction is of knapped flint with ashlar dressings, and the roof is covered in plain tiles with crested ridge tiles. The design is in a Jacobean style, incorporating an offset plinth, quoins, windows with moulded mullions and transoms, dripmoulds, leaded lights, gables with slit vents, moulded copings and finials, and corniced chimneys with clustered, diagonally-set, corniced flues.

The building has an irregular plan across two storeys with an attic. The south elevation, which faces the garden, displays three asymmetrical gabled bays, the central bay being wider and taller and paired with the right-hand bay. Most of the windows have been altered, with the exception of the attic window. A projecting bay to the left has a four-light window to the ground floor and a five-light window above. The right-hand bay has a five-light window to both the ground and first floors, with a dripmould continuing from the central bay. The central bay features an entrance with panelled and part-glazed wooden doors, a datestone above the door in a corniced recess, and a one-light window to the first floor. To the right is a two-storey, ashlar, canted bay window of 1:3:1 lights on each floor, and a four-light attic window.

The west (entrance) elevation has two bays. A wide, gabled projection on the left features an entrance behind an internal porch with a double door having linenfold panelling, a four-centred arched surround, and small-pane glazing. A two-light window and a four-light window are positioned under a continuous hoodmould. The north (rear) elevation shows paired projecting bays to the left, an entrance within a re-entrant space on the right, a gabled stair half-bay with a transomed stair window, and a further gabled bay to the right. Various windows of different sizes are present. A lower link projecting to the left contains a door and window, providing access to a projecting outbuilding range that runs parallel to the main house.

The east elevation consists of three bays, with the central bay projecting and gabled, and the bay to the right being a single storey with a hipped roof. Ground floor windows are transomed, with four and five lights. Windows of two and four lights are present on the first floor. A gabled two-light half-dormer is on the left, and a three-light dormer is centrally placed.

The interior includes a black and white paved entrance vestibule. Decorative moulded fireplaces, with elaborate designs and coloured tile surrounds (marble in the former sitting room), are a feature. Other interior details include moulded plaster cornices and archivolts, panelled doors, decorative iron window catches, a panelled open-well stair with turned balusters and a moulded handrail.
