Description
Little Woodcote and Granville Lodge is a symmetrical pair of houses built between 1840 and 1850, with 20th-century additions. They are constructed from limestone ashlar and feature a steeply pitched slate roof with separate square shafts for the double ridge stack along the party wall and the returns of the side wings. The houses have casement windows and a double depth plan.
The exterior presents an irregular Tudorbethan style. Little Woodcote, on the left, has two storeys and an attic, with a two-window range. It features a coped parapet and a string course on the forward-facing gable, which has a pierced stone finial that returns to the left over a lower, set-back block. The gabled range includes a two-light, three-pane attic window, label moulds over a French window on the first floor with a plain railed balconette, and a three-light stone mullioned and transomed window on the ground floor. There is a lower set-back two-storey porch with a similar parapet and string course, leading to a further set-back windowless range to the left. The porch has a stone mullioned and transomed three-light, two-pane window on the first floor and a Tudor arch above a nine-panel door that is glazed at the top. To the left of the door is a 20th-century window.
Granville Lodge, on the right, also has two storeys and a two-window range. The coped parapet and string course continue and return to the right over a similar gable with a finial. It features label moulds over two-light mullioned and transomed windows, with two panes on the first floor and taller plate glass on the ground floor. The low set-back two-storey porch on the right return mirrors the style of the other porch, with one window above a moulded string course and a Tudor arch leading to double vertically panelled doors.
The interiors were not inspected. This pair of houses is a representative example of early Victorian interest in picturesque historicism in residential design. The name "Granville" is derived from Sir Bevil Grenville, a Royalist victor of the nearby Battle of Lansdown in 1643.
