Chalbury Lodge

Chalbury Lodge is a large detached villa located on Preston Road in Weymouth. It dates from the early 19th century, with additions and modifications made around 1930. The building is rendered and has a slate roof.

The villa features a wide main range facing south, with a narrow carriage-house range attached to the rear right. Although all windows are currently blocked, previous records indicate they were glazing-bar sashes. The south front has two storeys and is four windows wide, with full-height flat-roofed 20th-century bow windows at each end. In the center, there are two pairs of French doors with side-lights, leading to a steel grillage balcony with railings above two large lights. To the right, one of these lights has small Doric pilasters supporting a projecting lintel. Each side of the front has a small slit light on both floors. A plain mid-band extends to the west front.

The west front has three windows and features a tent verandah with seven bays supported by slender cast-iron columns, with trellis supports at either end. The ground floor includes a wide door on two stone steps, framed by a wide moulded stone architrave with a shouldered head, which appears to be from the mid-20th century. The rear of the building has various lights, and to the right, there is a 20th-century stone plat band surrounding a door. The low-pitched hipped roof has deep plain eaves and a large stack positioned in front of the ridge on the left side of the south front, with another stack on the hipped slope to the right.

The service wing features an exposed rubble wall on the east side, with a central recessed arch above a wide pair of plank doors that are hung on sliding gear. To the right of these doors is another pair of plank garage doors. On the left side of the service wing, there is a lunette window and a small door. The rear eaves also have a small brick stack. The interior of the building was not inspected.
