Chilvester Lodge

Chilvester Lodge is a house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of ashlar with a slate roof and end stacks on the main range and a west addition. The house is two storeys and has an attic. The three-window main range has gabled dormers, a raised plinth, a band, a right-side corner pier, a moulded cornice, and a parapet. It features sash windows with blind boxes; the windows have 16 panes on each side, 12 panes to the first floor centre and French windows on the ground floor centre. The ground floor openings are taller and broader than those above. A matching one-window range was added to the west, with similar 16-pane sashes on each floor and matching mouldings, along with a left-side corner pier. The west range has a lower roof pitch. The west end wall features angle piers with moulded caps, first floor windows containing two 12-pane sashes and one blank window, and a circa 1900 door with stained-glass panels set in a broad porch. The interior generally retains Regency style door furniture and cornices, a later 19th-century iron balustrade to the staircase, and a circa 1900 sitting alcove by the stair hall featuring a carved wood screen and stained glass, which was inserted for J.M. Harris (1856-1927), director of C & T Harris Limited.
