Description
Hurst Lodge is a semi-detached house dating from the 17th century, constructed of Ham stone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof that features stepped coped gables. The building has two storeys and five bays with irregular window arrangements. It includes hollow-chamfer mullioned windows, all of which are three-light, except for the first bay which has a two-light window above and a four-light ovolo-mould window below. There is a continuous label below the windows that steps up over a cambered-arched doorway, which has a 20th-century part-glazed door in the second bay. The third bay is blank.
About 1.5 meters west of the house, there are wrought iron railings topped with spearheads and featuring cast urn finials on the standards. There are later gates opposite the door, which enhance the setting of the house and contribute positively to the streetscape.
