Rayners Lodge

Rayners Lodge is a gate lodge to Rayners House, possibly designed by David Brandon or Arthur Vernon in the 1870s. The building is constructed of red brick with yellow brick dressings and blue brick diapering, topped with a plain tiled roof featuring fishscale tile ornament. It has two floors.

The south front, which faces the drive, consists of three bays with mullioned and transomed windows. On the left, there is a projecting gabled wing that includes a four-light window with a lean-to roof and a three-light window on the first floor. To the right of this wing is a gabled, single-storey porch with a Tudor arch and gabled head. Next to the porch is another four-light casement window, above which is a single-light window that rises into the roof area with a gabled head. Historical photographs indicate that the ground-floor window on the left was once an oriel, but the original brackets have been replaced with red bricks. The photographs also show that the ground-floor windows had stained glass panels in their upper lights, which have since been removed, with some replaced by uPVC substitutes.

The eastern face features a projecting square bay window on the ground floor to the left, with a two-light window in the center and single lights on either side. Above, at first-floor level, is a gabled semi-dormer with tiled flanks.

Inside, the passageways on both floors are wide. The staircase has moulded tread ends, stick balusters with turned newels, and a hardwood handrail. Fire surrounds have been replaced or lost.
