Falfield Lodge,And Gatepiers And Railings To The Front Garden And On The West Side Of Church Avenue

Falfield Lodge, along with its front garden railings and gatepiers, and railings on the west side of Church Avenue, is an early to mid-19th century building. It's constructed from coursed rubble with freestone dressings, topped with a Cotswold stone slate roof featuring overhanging eaves supported by brackets, and includes decorative octagonal chimneys. The lodge is in a picturesque Tudor Gothic style, with an asymmetrical design including a projecting gabled wing to the east. It is a single-storey building with four bays, featuring casement windows and a bay window on the south gable end with shouldered lintels. The projecting wing has an ornamental gabled porch with a bargeboard decorated with trefoils; the porch now has a 20th-century door. Contemporary gatepiers and railings run along the north and east sides of the lodge's garden, and continue across Church Avenue. These consist of a low coped rubble wall with cast iron railings featuring decorative finials, supported by octagonal capped ashlar piers.
