Description

St George's House is a residential care home for the elderly, originally a private house, dating from the early to mid 19th century, with possible enlargements and a late 20th-century rear wing. The building features solid, rendered walls and a slated roof, with a rendered chimney at the right-hand end.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical seven-window front. The central feature has a pedimented one-window design flanked by two-window wings. The left wing appears to have been brought forward to accommodate a ground storey conservatory. There is a gabled one-window wing at the left-hand end, likely a later addition, and a flat-roofed section on the right that is slightly set back. The ground storey, except for the extreme right-hand section, is rusticated, as is the entire pedimented centre feature. Most windows have moulded architraves, some with floral brackets below the sills, and are fitted with barred sashes. The left wing's conservatory features three round-arched windows with margin-panes and coloured glass. There is also a wooden bay window with margin-panes in the ground storey of the gabled wing at the extreme left. The centre feature includes a round window within a wreath in the pediment and a gabled, glazed entrance porch at the ground storey. The rear elevation is similar to the front, with small-paned windows.

The interior has been considerably altered in the late 19th or early 20th century but still retains cornices, ceiling bosses, and panelled doors. The staircase, which opens off the front door, dates from the late 19th or early 20th century and features carved wooden balusters. The entrance hall and conservatory have patterned, coloured floor tiles.

Historically, the house was known as The White Lodge and is marked as Parkside on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of 1903.
