Bower Lodge

Bower Lodge is a house, likely dating to the 17th century, with alterations and extensions from the early to mid-19th century, before 1848. The house is T-shaped, with a single storey and attic to the front and two storeys to the rear range. The front range is rendered with incised detailing designed to mimic masonry, set on a stone plinth. It has a peg tiled roof with end chimney stacks that have been converted. The attic has four 19th-century gabled dormers with curved wooden bargeboards, pendants, and finials. The ground floor features three windows; the left window is a 20th-century casement with top and bottom opening panes, while the right window has sliding sash windows with wooden jalousies. A central 19th-century gabled porch has fretted bargeboards, a wooden pendant and finial, and wooden brackets with a trefoil design above the entrance. The porch includes a wooden seat and a four-panelled door with the top two panels glazed with frosted glass and a triangular fanlight above. Square chimney stacks are present at each end; the left has two, and the right is an 19th-century octagonal stack. A 20th-century conservatory is attached to the right side. The T-wing is also rendered with lines imitating masonry and has a slate roof and 19th-century casement windows. The two-storey T-wing comprises two parallel ranges. One side features an early 19th-century six-panelled door within a wooden architrave, accompanied by a large iron door knocker. The other side has a single sash window on each floor with vertical glazing bays. Two chimney stacks, each with an early 19th-century octagonal chimney pot, are present. Inside, there are boxed-in spine beams with run-out stops and plank doors. A left-end fireplace appears to be constructed of 18th-century brickwork. An attached, single-storey early 19th-century outbuilding, likely originally a washhouse, is constructed of red brick and ragstone with a peg tiled roof.
