Tisbury Lodge

Tisbury Lodge is a detached house dating to circa 1840, with alterations made in the 1920s. It is constructed of limestone ashlar, with a hipped Welsh slate roof and gable end brick stacks. The house is two storeys high and has three windows at the front. A central Tuscan porch with stone steps leads to a six-panelled door with a semi-circular fanlight; flanking this are two-storey square bays with four-light ovolo-mullioned casement windows to both the ground and first floors. A plat band runs along the first floor, and a three-light ovolo-mullioned casement window is positioned centrally. A moulded stone eaves cornice sits above a plain blocking course, and chamfered rusticated quoins are present. The left return side features 16-pane sashes, while the right return side has 12-pane sashes. The rear of the house has flanking wings with sashes, and a 20th-century conservatory is centrally located with a six-pane sash window above.

The interior was partly refitted in the early 20th century, including a Tudor-arched stone fireplace in the drawing room, and the stick balusters on the staircase were replaced with serpentine splat balusters. Original features include six-panelled doors within moulded architraves, a wreathed moulded handrail on the staircase, a painted marble fireplace in the dining room, and window shutters. The building presents as a classical house with successful vernacular modifications.
