Hamptworth Lodge

Country house, built in 1912 by Sir Guy Dawber for H.C. Moffat. The house is constructed of Flemish bond brick and timber framing with brick nogging in differing patterns, with a tiled roof and decorative brick stacks. It has a large rectangular plan oriented on a north-south axis, with the main rooms facing south and service areas to the north. The architectural style is informal Elizabethan.

The east-facing front is two storeys high with a nine-window arrangement. A two-storey porch is positioned to the left of centre, featuring a Tudor-arched stone doorway, stone ovolo-mullioned and transomed leaded windows, a two-storey canted bay to the right, and a square bay to the left. The first floor to the right is jettied, with wooden mullioned windows. Distinctive lead rainwater heads bear the initials HCM. The gabled roof incorporates finely-carved bargeboards decorated with vine and floral motifs, and several elaborate octagonal stacks. A wooden and stone mullioned and transomed window configuration is a characteristic feature of the left return, along with recessed central bays and a projecting gable that houses the hall. The rear of the house presents a long garden frontage, with tall hall windows to the right, a large lateral brick stack displaying diaperwork and a pair of diagonally-set chimneys, and a pair of two-storey canted bays illuminating the dining room. A simpler window arrangement is visible towards the service areas on the left. The right return features a plain service entrance constructed of Flemish bond brick, along with two-light leaded casements and paired square stacks.

The interior is notable for its fine woodwork, including full-height oak panelling on the ground floor. The gallery is especially noteworthy, showcasing Ionic pilasters and carved doorcases. The hall features a five-bay arch-braced collar roof with oak panelling and a naturalistic rose carved frieze. It contains a Tudor-arched stone fireplace with strapwork overmantel and a herringbone brick back, complemented by fine bronze light fittings and an organ gallery, with carvings by H.C. Moffat. A staircase with a closed string and squat turned balusters runs up from the open-well landing. Bedrooms on the first floor are panelled in pear, cedar, walnut, and oak, with segmental-vaulted ceilings and some plaster decoration, alongside stone Tudor-arched fireplaces.

Hamptworth Lodge was built to replace an early 17th-century house that was demolished in 1910; some elements of the earlier house were incorporated into the service areas of the new building. The builders were Mussellwhite and Son of Basingstoke.
