Nos. 35 And 37 Bailbrook Lodge

A symmetrical pair of houses, now a hotel, dating to around 1825, with later 19th-century alterations, and likely designed by John Pinch and son. The houses were constructed as part of a planned development of seven properties on land owned by EH Adams of Bailbrook House. They were initially leased to David Aust, and Pinch and Sons are named as architects in the first lease. Only these two houses were built, and they were advertised for sale in 1831.

The buildings are constructed of limestone ashlar with unseen roofs and stacks to the central party wall and ends of the main block. The properties have double-depth plans with single-depth, one-window side wings. They are three storeys high with a lower ground floor. The north front, facing London Road, has a three-window facade, while the south garden front has two windows. Key features include a coped parapet, cornice, ground floor platband, and plinth that encircle the building. The north facade incorporates a vertical incised key pattern panel to the upper part of the party wall, and retains some crown glass to the six/six-pane sash windows on the second and ground floors, with six/nine-pane sashes to the first floor. Those windows located centrally are accented with balconettes, while the outer windows reveal chinoiserie balustrades within the interior staircases. Projecting porches at the angles of the wings are supported by paired Tuscan pilasters and an entablature, featuring two-panel, bolection moulded double doors with studs, frames, and margin panes over three-pane overlights. The south front features banded rustication to the ground floor of the central block. Segmental bays extend up to the second floor, topped with trellised iron balustrades and entablatures on Tuscan pilasters that flank full-height margin-paned windows; the first floor windows have six/nine panes, and the ground floor six/six panes, with barred windows to the lower ground floor. Number 35 has an eight/eight-pane sash window, while the west wing has six/six-pane sashes and a six/nine-pane sash with a trellised balcony to the first floor. Number 37, facing east, has late 19th-century plate glass sash windows on the garden front, with a similar balcony above late 19th-century French windows that open onto a balcony with a pierced stone parapet overlooking the lower ground floor. A single-storey lean-to with a two/two-pane sash window is attached to the east. The interiors were not inspected.
