Description

Dudmore Lodge is a farmhouse built in the early 19th century, with remnants from the late 16th century. It features brick laced sarsen rubble and a blue vitrified brick facade on the east side, while the rear elevation is painted and rendered. The building is two stories high with three by four bays. The original structure is represented by a moulded spine beam in the left rear room, which is now the kitchen, likely indicating it was originally a two-bay house facing the road.

The entrance is now at the rear, but the main facade faces east, showcasing a part-glazed central door set in a round-headed deep reveal, accompanied by a decorative fanlight. The windows are 16-pane sashes, with all openings framed by red brick flush quoining and red brick gauged flat lintels. There is a door on the left side of the rear elevation that leads into a one-storey porch supported by Roman Doric columns, which provides access to the stair hall. The roof is hipped with wide eaves and modillions on the rear elevation.

A date stone on the right elevation facing the road displays the family tree of the Church family, with the years 1833 and 1835 inscribed. This house was built on the site of a hunting lodge from Aldbourne Chase, which was enlarged around 1580 by the Walrond family. The Church family acquired the property in 1793.
