Description

Trostrey Lodge is a country house consisting of two ranges. The eastern range features a formal front made of Bath stone ashlar and has a slate valley roof with coped gables and four rendered gable stacks. The southwest rear wing has a colourwashed rendered southern front. The eastern front includes a flat parapet, two full-height canted bays, a central door set in a columned ashlar doorcase, and a single sash window above. It has a raised plinth, a band, and a moulded thin cornice beneath the parapet. The doorcase is adorned with Roman Doric columns that have some fluting at the necks and an open pediment. The principal entrance is now located at the roughcast northern end, featuring a half-glazed door with an overlight and a 12-pane sash window above. There is also a 20th-century tent-roofed porch.

The whitewashed roughcast rear western wall is two stories high and has a three-window range with three 12-pane sashes above and one sash window and door below. The rear of the southwest wing is at right angles to the main house and has a lean-to ground floor, with a 12-pane window on the right and a door on the left. The southwest wing has a two-story, three-window southern front, which appears to be from the 19th century, and features a small eastern end stack. It includes three horned 12-pane sashes above, a 12-pane sash on the ground floor to the right, and a half-glazed door with an overlight in the center. A depressed-arched recess to the left of center, which is not aligned with the window above, suggests that this part of the structure has been altered from an earlier building.

The rear western wall of the main house has a broad stone arch built into it, indicating the possible reuse of an older outbuilding. Beneath the main range, there are four brick-vaulted cellars with stone flag floors and cobbled drains. The entrance leads into a northeast room that has a fireplace in the north wall and a modern arch in the south wall leading to a stair corridor. The dog-leg stair consists of four flights with ramped rails, stick balusters, and bracket tread-ends. The two eastern front rooms, which were formerly separated by an entrance passage, are now incorporated into the southeastern room. The house features six-panel doors, and the valley roof has queen post trusses, with a lower roof at the rear.
