Description

125 London Road is a house built around 1835 in a classical style. The front is constructed of yellow brick in Flemish bond, while the rear is made of Kentish ragstone with brick dressings on a tooled plinth. It features a hipped slate roof with wide eaves and two brick chimneystacks. The house has two storeys and three windows on the front elevation, which includes 16-pane sash windows with narrow glazing bars, larger windows on the ground floor, and a central stone Tuscan portico. The portico has a doorcase with a rectangular fanlight, a cast iron lantern, and a four-panelled door with 19th-century stained glass in the upper panels. The rear elevation has a double pitched roof with a valley, 16-pane sashes on the first floor, and a central 12-pane sash window that lights the staircase. The central doorcase at the rear has a tooled flat stone hood with brackets and a four-panelled door, with the top panels glazed and the lower ones flush.

Inside, there is a central staircase with stick balusters and a column newel, leading to a hall with an elliptical arch decorated with brackets featuring anthemion and other motifs. The house contains several fireplaces, including an early 19th-century reeded marble fireplace with paterae in the sitting room, a later 19th-century black marble fireplace with a tiled surround in the dining room, a later 19th-century cast iron fireplace in the rear room, and a plainer early 19th-century marble fireplace on the first floor with a cast iron basket grate. The dining room window retains its original wooden shutters.

Tradition holds that the house was built for the daughter of a miller from a nearby windmill. It has also been known at different times as St Mary's Lodge and Henderson House.
