3/535 Danemore Lodge
II
Lodge to Danemore Park. Circa 1860 with C20 rear extensions. Local sandstone
ashlar to the ground floor, first floor plastered with sgraffito decoration;
peg-tile roof; stacks with rendered chimney-shafts. Idiosyncratic Tudor
style.
Plan: The Lodge faces north north east, say north, overlooking the drive to
Danemore Park, the east end fronting Langton Road. Single depth 2-room plan
with an axial stack to left of centre and a right end stack. Approximately
central entrance on the north side.
Exterior: Single-storey and attic. Asymmetrical 2-window front; roof half-
hipped at ends. A tall chamfered plinth in the masonry of the front wall
rises to form the hoodmoulds of the 2 ground floor windows. Timber fascia at
attic floor level. Eaves brackets spring from this level, supporting deep
sprocketted eaves, with sgraffito panels between the brackets. Coped gabled
projecting stone porch in the centre with a 2-centred outer arch with a
projecting oval plaque over. Original panelled front door with diagonal
boards. The ground floor windows are transomed casements. The sgraffito
decoration is arranged as a blind arcade of pointed arches decorated with
bands of lozenges, zig-zags, chevrons, scallops etc. The spandrels of the
arches are decorated with black polished hemispheres, set in the plaster.
Hipped dormer to right of centre with an original transomed window; C20 attic
dormer to left of centre. The left (east) return, overlooking the road, is
tile-hung below the half-hip. 3-light transomed ground floor window; similar
2-light attic window. The sgraffito decoration extends round the east return.
The right (west) return prominent from the drive from Danemore Place, has an
elaborately-treated stack: narrow at ground floor level and corbelled out to a
wider shaft above. The sgraffito decoration on this elevation is mare
elaborate with circle motifs on either side of the stack. The rear elevation
of the original phase is concealed by the C20 extension.
Interior: Not inspected at time of survey but may retain features of
interest.
