Description
Wessington Lodge is a mid-19th century house constructed of squared, coursed limestone with an ashlar stack and a stone slate cross-gabled roof. It has a single-depth plan with a right-hand cross wing and is built in the Picturesque Gothic Revival style.
The house is single storey with an attic, featuring a two-window range. The entrance gable has an open timber porch with turned balusters and stone benches, leading to a Tudor-arched doorway and studded door. A plat band runs along the first floor. Mullion and transom windows with casements and labels are present, with a gabled bay on the left return and a canted ground floor oriel with moulded ashlar top and bottom, and a gable finial, on the right return. Cusped decorative bargeboards adorn the gables. The stack has two octagonal shafts with moulded tops, and small shield panels are at the tops of the eaves.
The interior of the house has not been inspected.
Wessington Lodge originally served as a lodge for the Bowood Estate.
