Hever Lodge

Hever Lodge is a house dating to 1851. It is constructed of buff-coloured stock brick with red brick dressings, featuring a steeply pitched fishscale slate roof with moulded terracotta crow-stepped gable ends. Brick gable end stacks rise from corbels at a lower level, with red brick dressings.

The house has an asymmetrical plan, incorporating two principal front rooms with a three-storey porch between them. A wing extends to the right of the larger room, featuring a two-storey loggia on its outer right-hand side and a stair turret in the angle to the left. A rear doorway is accessed through a two-storey porch on the left side of the rear wing, adjacent to the stair turret. The architectural style is Tudor Gothic.

The west front is asymmetrical with three bays, featuring a doorway to the left of centre, set within a tall, narrow, three-storey porch with a crow-stepped gable. The doorway has a four-centred brick arch with a hoodmould, crenellation above, and diagonal buttresses at the base. To the right is a similar gable, but wider, with a canted stone bay window on the ground floor, a three-light window on the first floor, and a two-light attic window. To the left of the porch is a shallow projecting bay on the ground floor with a hoodmould over a two-light window, and a corresponding two-light window on the first floor. All ground floor windows on the front have moulded red brick four-centred arches, hoodmoulds, and casements.

On the south side, the gable end stack rises from the first floor level on corbels. The shaft is flanked by small attic lancet windows with diamond panes, although the windows below are 20th-century casements. The rear wing to the right has a two-bay loggia on the ground and first floors, with gables above and four-centred brick arches with buttresses between and on the corner. The ground floor loggia has been infilled with 20th-century glazing.

The left-hand side includes an octagonal crenellated stair turret in the angle with the rear wing and a two-storey porch with a corbelled parapet and an arched doorway with a crow-stepped gable above. A tablet inscribed "I.L.[said to be Isaac Lawrence] 1851" is positioned over the doorway. The north gable end of the front range has small lancet stair windows on its left-hand corner, a two-light attic window to the left of the stack, and a thin shaft of the stack.

The interior has not been inspected. It is now divided into flats but may retain features of interest, including a newel staircase within the turret.
