Lorton Hall Winder House

Lorton Hall and Winder House is a tower house and wing, now divided into two dwellings. It likely dates from the mid to late 15th century, with a 16th-century wing. The building has undergone alterations in 1663, 1880, and 1904. It is constructed of mixed slate rubble, partly rendered, and features a graduated greenslate roof with ashlar chimney stacks, while the tower roof is topped with a battlemented parapet.

The square, three-storey, two-bay tower has a rear 19th-century two-storey, three-bay extension built in a similar style, along with a lower two-storey, seven-bay wing now known as Winder House. The tower has 19th-century windows, including irregular two- and three-light windows, some in a Tudor style with hoodmoulds and others without. The ground floor features mullioned and transomed windows. Winder House has 17th-century windows with significant 19th-century alterations; the central three-light window was originally an entrance with a hoodmould and pediment, and the ground-floor windows have been enlarged under three-light stone-mullioned windows with continuous hoodmoulds and individual pediments.

The rear of the tower includes a Tudor-style doorway and two-light windows, while the rear of Winder House has similar features, with 19th-century two-, three-, and four-light windows. The interior of the tower is entirely fitted with late 19th-century and early 20th-century panelled woodwork and moulded plaster ceilings. Some features claimed by a previous owner to be original, such as a concrete vault and spiral staircase in the tower, as well as dated plasterwork in Winder House, are considered dubious. This owner also displayed 16th- and 17th-century portraits of his ancestors in the house and opened it to the public. The adjoining stables, now known as The Stables, have been extensively altered and are not of interest.
