Lodge To Redlynch House

The Lodge to Redlynch House, dating from around 1820 and enlarged around 1860, is constructed of painted Flemish bond brick with an addition in English bond and features a Welsh slate roof with octagonal brick stacks. The building is designed in an L-plan and has its entrance at right angles to the road, facing the drive. It is a single storey with an attic and has three windows.

On the left side, there is a canted bay with pointed cast-iron casements and a fish-scale slate hipped roof. To the right, there are two 3-light segmental-headed cast-iron casements with hoodmoulds. The first floor features a 2-light cast-iron casement to the left, while to the right, in the later addition, there is a gabled dormer with a 7-light cast-iron casement. The gabled roof has carved wavy bargeboards with a pendant at the apex and ceramic ridge cresting.

The left return serves as the entrance front, featuring a 20th-century door in a segmental-arched opening, accompanied by a porch with a fish-scale slated roof supported by cast-iron posts. Above the porch is a 2-light cast-iron casement with a hoodmould, and it shares the same bargeboards as the front. The rear includes a canted bay similar to the front on the right, a 2-light casement to the left, and a two-storey addition from around 1860 that has a planked door and 3-light casements, again with the same bargeboards.

The right return has one 2-light casement with a hoodmould and 20th-century casements on the ground floor. Inside, the lodge features reset 6-panelled doors, a fireplace with a reeded frieze, a mantel, and a moulded cornice, which are elements taken from a larger late 18th-century house. Redlynch House was likely built for the 2nd Baron Bridport, the son of the 1st Earl Nelson of Trafalgar House.
