Description
Merton Lodge is a villa, subdivided, built around the 1850s. It has a stuccoed exterior with a slate roof and stacks featuring rendered shafts, some topped with embattled caps. The building has a double-depth rectangular plan, with the entrance located on the west side and a service block to the north.
The villa is two storeys high and features a roof with a coped parapet. The windows have ovolo-moulded frames, moulded mullions, and hoodmoulds. The front is asymmetrical with two windows, and a gabled section in the center. There is a projecting canted porch bay at the center, with a parapet that has sunk panels. The front door is a 20th-century half-glazed design with a plain overlight, flanked by tall one-light fixed windows and 2-light windows on the left and right sides. There are two first-floor windows and one ground-floor window, with a shallow projecting chimney stack in the right-hand bay.
The 1975 listing description mentions mullion and transom windows on the garden-facing south front, which run the full length of the ground floor, and a crenellated service wing. The interior has not been inspected but may contain features of interest.
