Description
Ansford Lodge is a detached house, likely built in the late 18th century. It is constructed from roughly cut and squared Cary stone, with Doulting stone dressings. The roof is plain clay tiles set between coped gables, and there are brick chimney stacks at each end. The building has a double roof plan and stands two storeys high with three bays. The outer bays feature two-storey angled bay windows made of ashlar, which have a moulded eaves course and lead flat roofs. Each bay window contains 8+16+8-pane sash windows on both levels. The upper centre bay has a 12-pane sash window in a plain opening, while below it is a 4-panel door set in a stone pedimented surround with fielded-panel pilasters. There is a lean-to against the front of the west gable and a 20th-century extension at the rear. The interior has not been seen.
