Description
Posbury Lodge is a lodge that was originally built for Posbury House, now known as Posbury St Francis, and has been converted into a cottage. It dates from the early 19th century and is constructed of volcanic rubble with 20th-century roughcast on the west side. The building features rubble stacks topped with brick and a thatched roof made of wheat reed.
This cottage ornee consists of three small heated rooms, which are served by an axial stack and a service stack at the southern end. It is a single-storey structure with a conical roof around the axial stack and a lower pitched roof at the southern gable end. The main façade faces north and features a roof that extends over a verandah with canted sides, supported by four rustic posts with arch braces.
The front has two windows, with a 20th-century casement on the left that blocks a former doorway, and an original timber two-light casement on the right, which contains leaded diamond panes. Both long sides have three window fronts, with a door now located on the west side. The only rear (left) casement of the east (roadside) front retains leaded diamond lights. The interior has not been inspected.
