The Lawn

The Lawn is a villa, dating from the 1840s, originally built as a private residence and later converted into holiday flats. The building is constructed of stucco, with a slate roof and prominent stacks featuring tall, octagonal shafts and a projecting cornice. It is designed in the Domestic Tudor style.

The villa has an irregular, roughly rectangular footprint and comprises two storeys and a basement. The front elevation has a plain parapet with a chamfered coping above a string course. The windows feature chamfered architraves and dripmoulds, arranged in an irregular 1:1:1 window pattern. A projecting two-storey porch dominates the front, with a moulded cornice to its parapet. The porch contains an ogival-arched doorway, with a moulded dripmould, housing a recessed six-panel door and a Perpendicular-style tracery fanlight above. A blind window sits above the door. A projecting stack is situated to the left of the porch, incorporating chamfered strings, a moulded cornice and several shafts. There is a single first-floor window to its left. Modern single-storey additions have been built against the stack and the ends of the front elevation. The other elevations follow a similar design.

The interior of the building has not been inspected but may retain features of historical interest. The Lawn is valued for its picturesque contribution to Torwood Gardens.
