Description

This is a former foreman's lodge and workshop, dated 1901, designed by architect Henry Dare Bryan in a Domestic Revival style for the Clevedon Waterworks Company. The building is constructed of squared and coursed Pennant rubble stone to the ground floor, with clay wall tiles to the attic storey. It features rubble stone chimney stacks with red brick chimney shafts, and a plain clay tile cross-gabled roof.

The lodge is a two-storey house with a roughly T-shaped plan. Its principal east elevation has an irregular façade, with an off-centre gable and overhanging eaves. A four-light window is at ground floor, and a six-light bay window rises to the first floor. A pendant with a heart-shaped motif appears at the apex, repeated on each gable. To the left, a timber and glazed porch sits beneath a catslide roof with a flat-roofed dormer window. The porch features decorative carving to the spandrels and an ashlar date stone inscribed with AD 1901, also incorporating a heart motif. The north elevation has a projecting central gable with cusped timber panelling, and a rubble stone axial stack with four brick shafts set diagonally along the ridge line. The rear, or west, elevation shows a blocked doorway at ground floor and an external stone chimney stack with two brick shafts diagonal to the right. The south elevation has a ground-floor bay window with dentils beneath a moulded cornice, and a three-light window above.

Inside, the porch contains a plank entrance door with spear-headed iron hinges and a brass doorbell. The door is set within a moulded, basket arch-headed doorway with decorative carving to the spandrels. The timber staircase features a tapered newel post with moulded bowl-shaped capitals, stick balusters, and a heart motif on the pendant. The principal reception room has a marble fire surround with decorative ball detailing and a cast-iron grate, along with a fitted timber pelmet to the window. A fitted dresser is located in the dining room. Upstairs, the three bedrooms retain cast-iron fireplaces. Throughout the interior are three-panelled doors with brass door furniture, moulded architrave, cornices, and decorative iron window latches.

To the rear of the lodge is a single-storey, two-room workshop with a gabled roof. It has two plank doors and a ten-light window that has been reduced in height.
