Description
Lorton Park is an early 19th-century house located in Lorton, featuring painted incised stucco with an eaves cornice, parapet, and angle pilasters. The building has a graduated greenslate roof with ashlar chimney stacks. It stands two storeys tall and consists of three bays, with a road facade that includes five bays and a square tower wing on the left. The main entrance features a round-headed 19th-century glazed door set in a stucco surround, flanked by canted bay windows. The upper-floor sash windows have glazing bars and are framed by painted architraves beneath projecting cornices. The road facade also includes sash windows with glazing bars, two of which have round arches, along with one blind window and a segmental carriage arch in a quoined surround. The left return wall has segmental-headed ground-floor windows with margin glazing bars. The tower wing is topped with a hipped roof. Richard Harbard, who lived from 1803 to 1878, is commemorated on a memorial in Lorton Church.
