Cromwell Lodge And Attached Wall To Right

Cromwell Lodge is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century. The exterior is rendered on a brick base, with roughcast walls and an old plain-tile roof that is hipped on the right side. There’s a rendered stack at the left end. The house is two storeys high with an attic, and has a three-window front. A six-panel, part-glazed door is centrally located, sheltered by a flat hood supported on shaped brackets. Tripartite sash windows with glazing bars and architrave surrounds are set on either side of the door. A rendered band runs between the ground and first floors. A four-pane window with an architrave surround is centrally positioned on the first floor. The first floor also features tripartite sash windows with glazing bars and architrave surrounds on the left and right sides. Shaped brackets are visible at the eaves. Two flat-roofed dormers house 2-light wood casements with architrave surrounds. The interior was not inspected during listing. To the right of the house is a red brick wall featuring Gothick doors within arched openings. Local tradition suggests that Cromwell stayed here during the siege of Wallingford in 1646.
