Wimborne Lodge

Wimborne Lodge is a house built in the mid-19th century, featuring yellow brick with stone dressings and a brick ridge stack, topped with a Double Roman tiled roof. It is designed in the Tudor Revival style and has a two-room plan with a rear service wing. The building is two storeys high and has a two-window range. The entrance front includes a central projecting gable and similar end gables, all of which have coped tops with kneelers and finials. There are cill and string courses that step up over the openings, along with a bracketed eaves cornice. A left-hand gabled porch is positioned at an angle in the northern re-entrant, featuring a five-centre-arched doorway. The windows are a mix of two- and three-light mullions, with four-centre-arched casements and hoodmoulds. On the northeast gable, there is a splayed four-light bay and a first-floor window that is set forward beneath a weathered band. A monogram is located above the northwest ground-floor window. At the rear, there is an outshut with a gabled ground-floor window and a two-centre-arched window, both with corner finials. The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted to have a staircase that rises between two chimney breasts. Historically, this building served as a lodge for Canford Manor and is part of a larger group of similarly styled estate buildings associated with the Canford Estate. At the time of the previous listing survey, it had a tiled roof with bands of fishscale tiles.
