The Old Lodge

The Old Lodge is an early 19th-century cottage located on Henleaze Road, Bristol. Built of Pennant rubble with limestone dressings, it features a central rubble and brick stack and a thatched roof. The cottage is designed in a picturesque “Cottage ornée” style, with a T-shaped, single-depth plan.

The building is single-storey with an attic, and has a three-window front. It has irregular quoins around the openings. The central section features an elliptical-arched doorway with a segmental-arched porch, the porch having chamfered posts supporting a dentil canopy with pendentives. To the right of the doorway is a small V-shaped oriel window, followed by a rectangular casement window, all with lattice lights. The right-hand end of the building has an apsidal shape with three windows. Two semicircular dormers are positioned above the roofline, each containing paired lattice casement windows set beneath thatched eyebrows. The overhanging eaves are supported by arch-braced brackets with pendentives. A central chimney is topped with four diagonally-set stacks. The interior of the cottage has not been inspected.
