Cumry Lodge

Detached three-bay single-storey house with half-dormer attic, built c.1820, having gablet over entrance bay dormer window to front (north) elevation, with two-bay two-storey return to rear elevation, with full-width single-storey lean-to addition to south gable of this. Pitched tiled roofs, red brick chimneystacks, and paired timber corbels to eaves. Roughcast rendered walls with tooled stone quoins. Square-headed window openings with tooled stone sills, having six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to west elevation, replacement uPVC windows elsewhere. Round-headed window opening to front dormer, having replacement uPVC window and tooled stone sill. Elliptical-headed door opening having timber panelled door with cobweb fanlight and with geometric glazing to sidelights, latter with stone sills. Yard to rear comprising multiple-bay single-storey outbuilding to south range, single-bay single-storey outbuilding to south-west corner, and two-storey multiple-bay outbuilding to east range, with pitched corrugated metal roofs, whitewashed rubble stone walls, square-headed, round-headed, and camber-headed openings with some timber battened fittings and some double-leaf timber battened doors. Set in own grounds, having recent gates to site entrance.

This modest house is distinctive for its dormered form. The gablet and paired eaves corbels and chimneystacks give the building a strong symmetry. The fine doorcase adds a decorative focus, and the accompanying outbuildings provide context and are good-quality heritage structures themselves.
