Description

Flodden Lodge is a small, 2-storey, 2-bay villa built around 1860, featuring Gothic detailing. The building is constructed from cream sandstone, with squared and snecked rubble, and has stugged and droved dressings. It includes a base course, chamfered reveals, ornate bargeboards on the main gables, pendants on the smaller gables, and overhanging eaves with exposed rafters.

On the west (front) elevation, there is an advanced gabled entrance bay to the right, which has a 4-centre arched doorway with a timber door that features decorative iron hinges and a tiled vestibule. The doorway has chamfered arrises that are corbelled to a square at the first floor, along with a string course and a blank panel above the door. A small shouldered-arched window is located in the gablehead. To the left, there is a gabled bay with a projecting tripartite window at the ground floor and a crenellated parapet that bears a blank armorial shield. There is a single window at the first floor and a carved panel with a blank armorial shield in the gablehead.

The east (rear) elevation features a gabled bay to the right with single windows and ball finialled skewputts, and a bay to the left with single windows divided by a wallhead stack.

The south elevation is 3-bay, with an advanced gabled bay to the right that has a single window at the ground floor and an arrowslit window in the gablehead. The centre bay is gabled and includes a single-storey crenellated projection in the re-entrant angle, with three stair windows above, the tallest being in the centre, featuring decorative astragal patterns. A recessed bay to the left has a corbel course above the ground floor.

The north elevation has a central single-storey projection with a catslide roof, a wallhead stack, and a gabled dormer to the left.

The villa has timber sash and case windows that feature a thicker central astragal, with 4-pane upper sashes and 6-pane lower sashes. The roof is slate with lead flashings and includes two wallhead stacks with tall ornamental spiral-detailed cans.

Inside, there is an open stair hall with carved braces and a timber balustrade, along with grape plasterwork cornice in the ground floor dining room. The property is enclosed by a tall rubble wall at the rear and side, and a low wall at the front with later gates.
