Description

Manor Lodge is a detached house dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with some local lias stone that is partly rendered. The roof is covered with clay pantiles and features stepped coped gables, along with brick chimney stacks at the ends and in the middle. The building has an 'L'-shaped plan and stands two storeys high with five bays, although bays four and five are rendered and may be later additions from the 19th century.

The house has an ashlar plinth and quoins, with casement windows; the outer bays have four-light windows, while the other bays have three-light windows, and there is no window in the upper part of bay four. The lower windows in bays one to three have gauged brick flat arches. Bay four features a six-panel door with a glazed toplight set in a heavy frame, topped by a plain lead-covered timber hood. There is a later return wing to the southwest. The interior has not been seen.

In front of the house, approximately 2 to 4 metres away, there is a low stone wall topped with railings that have cast-iron spearheads, along with a matching gate. The stone wall returns to the house, contributing to the overall setting of Manor Lodge and enhancing the streetscape in this central corner location.
