Description
Fenton Lodge, located at 42 Bridgend in Duns, is a later 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay double pile house constructed from squared snecked and stugged cream sandstone. The building features regular fenestration, with first-floor windows adorned with gabled dormerheads and overhanging eaves that showcase exposed rafters.
On the north elevation facing Bridgend, the principal three-bay block includes bipartite windows in the outer bays, with the right bay featuring a projecting piend-roofed window at the ground level and gable. To the right, there is a set-back single-storey entrance with elaborate two-leaf panelled doors, a rectangular fanlight, and a massive hoodmould with foliate label stops. To the left, a single set-back bay contains a window on the first floor, while a later rendered garage fills the re-entrant angle.
The west elevation has an M-shaped roof and features a porch at the centre with pointed-arch leaded windows and a window on the first floor. The flanking bays contain windows on both floors.
The south elevation consists of three bays, with a gabled centre bay that has a round-headed doorway at the ground level and a window on the first floor. The flanking bays feature projecting pentice-roofed tripartite windows at the ground level and bipartite windows on the first floor. A porch is set back to the left, which includes a door and a letterbox fanlight.
The east elevation displays a pair of gables, with the left side being blank and the right side set back, featuring a double lancet stair window and a garage at the ground level.
The windows are timber sash and case with plate glass; the upper sashes are leaded and include stained glass. The roof is covered with grey slates and terracotta ridge tiles, and there are coped ashlar apex stacks, some of which have exotic octagonal cans. Bargeboards are also present.
The property includes gatepiers and railings, with pairs of square rendered gatepiers on the left and right. There is a saddleback ashlar base for the cast-iron arrowhead railings.
