Description

Lodbourne Hall is a mid to later 19th-century building located on the northeast side of South Street. It is a two-storey structure with a four-window bay front, featuring a slate gabled roof with stone coping and ashlar flanking stacks. The front is made of ashlar stone and includes a pierced panel parapet, a stone cornice with modillions, an ovolo course, and a narrow string course at the first floor level.

On the first floor, there are four sash windows without glazing bars. The ground floor has, from left to right, a five-light bay window with a modillion cornice and blocking course that spans two first-floor window bays. In the third bay, there is an ornate ashlar prostyle porch supported by rusticated Doric columns, featuring a round-headed doorway flanked by pilasters and topped with a mask head keystone, a plain fanlight, and a six-panelled door. The fourth bay on the right end has another sash window without glazing bars.

The left-hand return of Lodbourne Hall shows a gable end with two storeys and two window bays. There is a lower rear wing to the north, and the parapet has capping.
