Description

The building is an office block, incorporating elements from the 17th to 19th centuries, originally part of Lodgemoor Mills. A core of the building dates to the 17th century, constructed from hammerdressed rubble with a pitched stone roof. It features three gables on its west side, with various mullioned windows, some with leaded glazing bars. An extension was added in the early to mid 18th century to the south. The west side of this extension is brick, while the east side is ashlar. It also has a pitched stone roof and ten ranges of double-hung sash windows with glazing bars, stone architraves, and bull-nosed sills. The main entrance has a door set within a horizontal, rusticated surround with applied Ionic columns and a segmental, dentilled pediment.

Adjoining the 18th-century extension is a block from the late 17th or 18th century, also constructed from hammerdressed stone and featuring mullioned windows, one with a hood mould, as well as two oval oculi in the gable end. Further south is a late 18th-century one-and-a-half-storey wing with four large double-hung sash windows with glazing bars. To the north is an early 19th-century block built of hammerdressed rubble, containing five ranges of segment-headed windows with glazing bars and one range of loading doors.

The interior of the 18th-century block features a staircase, now divided into two sections, with fluted newels, dado wainscotting with fluted muntins, turned balusters, and a handrail ramped to the newels. Originally, there was a Chinese Chippendale back stair, now housed in Stroud Museum. A late 18th-century wing contains a fireplace and overmantel dating to circa 1740-50. The fireplace has a gadrooned surround, a shouldered architrave flanked by acanthus details and a fluted urn with serpent handles, supporting a pulvinated frieze with oak leaves, flanked by Rococo scrolls incorporating wolfs' heads. The overmantel, flanked by Ionic columns, includes a female mask in a sunburst with arms and musical instruments within the spandrels, alongside a broken scrolled pediment with an egg-shaped urn and swags.

The building is part of a group including Lodgemoor Mills, Nos 1 and 2 Lodgemoor Cottages, and Lodgemoor Mills Bridge, together with Fromehall Mills.
