Furzedown Lodge, Furzedown Drive
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 13 Aug 2011
A pretty and archetypal little thing. Deeply-coved eaves, arched entrance with colonettes, attractive diamond-shaped glazing bars, and chimneystacks almost as tall as the lodge itself. Built c1862 to the designs of J.K. Knowles. Grade II listed. It was built as the lodge to Furzedown, which I believe survives, albeit subsumed into a local school.
