Gliffaes Lodge

Gliffaes Lodge is an Italianate single-storey building constructed from snecked rubble sandstone with tooled dressings and a pan-tile roof. The lodge features a main range with a campanile at the eastern end, situated behind a two-storey porch. To the left, there is a later extension with two wings that have ribbed brick stacks on stone bases.

The porch has a splayed base, and its eastern and western walls contain two-centred arches made of polychrome voussoirs, combining red sandstone and buff-coloured limestone. Below a deep moulded impost band, there is a polychrome tile frieze with a lozenge pattern. Above the arches, two-light windows with lancet heads and colonettes featuring trumpet capitals are present. The two-stage campanile has large square openings in the bell stage, topped with a tile frieze and a white brick cornice that includes a sawtooth course. The roof is saddleback with projecting eaves.

At the angle between the porch and the main range, there is a polygonal turret with three glazed panels beneath trefoil heads. The main range has three windows, with an inserted casement in an earlier opening to the right. The central wall is splayed with a narrow fixed light, while the left side features a later wall set back under bracketed eaves, which includes a cross window with a casement and a ribbed brick stack at the left end on a stone base. The rear wings also have similar cross windows and ribbed brick stacks.

The building was not inspected at the time of the survey in August 1997.
