Pegwell Lodge

Pegwell Lodge is a house dating from the early 19th century, with alterations made in 1911. Constructed from stock brick with mathematical tile and slate roofing, it was originally designed as a T-shaped building. The house has two storeys and an attic, set upon a plinth with a moulded eaves cornice to the gabled projecting entrance wing and a hipped main block. A central belvedere lantern and stacks are positioned to the left and right of the main block. Replacement windows are present on the first floor, with one in a left-hand extension, one on the side elevations of the projecting wing, and one on the main block. Ground-floor windows incorporate wooden casements and sashes, with label hoods. Glazing bar sashes can be found on the return and rear elevations. An arched gable light is present, featuring a wooden oriel below, above a projecting porch. The porch contains a four-centred arched plank-and-stud door with a rectangular fanlight and label hood, accompanied by moulded sidelights with labels. A late 20th-century conservatory has been added. Inside, the belvedere contains oval windows with ornamental coloured glazing and a frieze of cherubs. There is also a top-lit open string staircase with renewed balusters. The house was originally built for Sir William Garrow, Attorney General and High Court Judge (1760-1840).
