Description
Bacombe Lodge is an early 19th-century house located on the east side of South Street in Wendover. It is built of vitreous brick, primarily set in header bond, with red brick dressings. The building features a shallow pitched pyramidal slate roof with widely projecting eaves, which are supported by curved brackets and have a panelled soffit. The structure has three storeys above a cellar, with flanking brick chimneys.
The front façade consists of three bays, each containing 4-pane wide sash windows that are set in reveals and topped with gauged red brick flat arches. The central entrance features a semicircular arched door with six flush panels and a radiating fanlight, accessed by three steps. A Sun Insurance firemark is located on the right-hand side. The south elevation has two bays of sash windows, with the right-hand bay featuring blind windows and a large square bay window on the ground floor.
To the left, there is a one-storey shop wing that has timber framing and colour-washed brick infill. Inside the house, the hall is adorned with two fluted half columns that have Corinthian capitals. The ground floor room includes a marble chimneypiece, and there is a round-headed arch leading to the staircase, which features a continuous curved handrail. The rear ground floor room has a carved wood chimneypiece.
