Clarendon Lodge

Clarendon Lodge is a late 18th-century house, originally known as New House, now used as a rest home. The house is rendered with pantile roofs. It is three storeys high with a symmetrical three-window front, all windows being reglazed 2-pane sashes with plain architraves. The central door is topped by a Gothic fanlight and an open pediment supported by corbels with urns on three-quarter engaged Doric columns. Two-storey canted bays rise to a continuous string course. Long and short chamfered quoins extend to the cornice. The central window on the second floor has a round head. A plain parapet is broken by a pediment containing a small oval window; the cornice runs only from the feet of the pediment creating an open design. The return parapet coping sweeps up to the end stacks. To the left is a single-story extension that incorporates a former courtyard wall with two entrances, rusticated with keystones. The narrow pedestrian entrance is round-headed, while the wider coach entrance is a flattened arch.
