Description

Blackland House is a lodge to Blackland Park, built in the mid to later 19th century. It features squared ashlar blocks with some half-timbering, and has a roof made of banded plain tiles and fishscale tiles, complete with barge boards and end stacks. The building is one and a half storeys tall and was originally T-shaped, later extended at the rear in a matching style.

The north end wall facing the road has a central projecting chimney, flanked by single lights on the first floor and small stone triangular bays on the ground floor, which are also repeated on the adjoining ends of the front and rear walls. The west front includes a triangular bay to the left and a central porch gable with half-hipped roof and barge boards. The upper floor jetties out and features half-timbering on the sides, with a small stone oriel window at the front. The doorway is Tudor-arched, with a similar design for the inner door. On the ground floor to the right, there is a two-light mullion window, and a single-storey extension with a two-light window is located beyond it. Additionally, there is a large 20th-century rear extension that matches the original style.
