Arundel Lodge

Arundel Lodge is a villa dating from around 1830 to 1850. It is constructed of ashlar over brick, with a hipped slate roof, tall brick ridge stacks, and detailing including ground-floor horizontal rustication drawn into voussoirs over segmental-arched windows and tooled architraves to the first-floor windows. The windows are mostly 1/1 lugged sashes, with 2/2 sashes on the ground floor and 6/6 sashes on the first floor where original. A flight of five roll-edged steps leads to the central entrance, featuring a part-glazed four-panel door with sidelights and a cambered overlight. The doorway is within a porch with two pairs of fluted Doric pilasters, an architrave, a frieze with triglyphs and metopes, and a pediment with guttae. The east elevation (left return) has a one-storey bow with pilasters. The rear elevation retains 8/8 sashes. The interior has not been inspected. The Park, in which the lodge is situated, was laid out by Thomas Billings by 1833 and later bought by Samuel Daukes, with development continuing. The design was influenced by schemes for Regent’s Park in London and is similar in style, having been derived from the designs of Papworth, to Greenfields (No. 35 The Park) and Oakley (No. 55 The Park).
