Ormond Lodge

Ormond Lodge is a detached house, now serving as a home for the elderly. It dates from the late 18th century, with a late 19th-century extension on the left. The building is constructed from limestone ashlar, with rubblestone on the right return, and features a double-pitched slate mansard roof with three dormers and moulded stacks at the gable ends.

The house has a double depth plan and stands three storeys tall with an attic. The main block has a symmetrical front and three windows on the left wing. The main block features a coped parapet that is lowered in front of the three dormers, along with a slightly returned coved cornice and fluted frieze. There is a ground floor platband and plinth, with pilasters at the quoins. The windows are plate glass sash windows, with Venetian windows in the outer ranges of the first floor; the centre of the right-hand window is blind. The ground floor has paired windows in the outer ranges flanking steps, leading up to a set-back six-panel door that is glazed at the top. This door is framed by a painted stone doorcase with Tuscan pilasters, supporting an entablature and pediment.

The late 19th-century block to the left is designed in a contextual style, featuring a parapet, cornice, frieze, and platband that are continuous with the main block. It has a shallower pitched roof and a continuous sill for three first-floor windows. The ground floor includes tall four-over-four pane sash windows flanking a flush six-panel door set under a shouldered arch, with a tall two-pane overlight above.

To the right is a late 19th-century coach house, which is now used as a garage. The interior has not been inspected. This house is part of the initial phase of suburban development in the area and shows clear influences from the townhouses of the period of Wood the Younger, particularly with its first-floor Venetian windows and other masonry details. A photograph from 1945 in the National Monuments Record shows the façade with shutters and altered fenestration on the first floor.
