Details
ELM GROVE ROAD SX 98 NE TOPSHAM 871/27/10006 The Lodge GV II
Lodge. Probably late 1850s, contemporary and designed with Grove House (qv), a villa set in its own grounds. Grey limestone rubble with dressed stone quoins, slate roof with crested ridge tiles; stone stacks with ashlar shafts. Tudor style matching the house. Plan: Overall L plan. Gable end to Elm Grove Road, with the porch in the west angle between the two blocks. Exterior: Single storey. Asymmetrical 2-window front, the left hand block gabled to the front with deep verges and curly bargeboards decorated with blind trefoils and geometric shapes. Canted bay window to the left hand block with a hipped roof with lead rolls, glazed with high transomed casements each light below the transom with 2 panes. The right hand block, set back and roofed at right angles, has a window with a cranked head glazed with a matching 2-light casement. Original lean-to porch with a C20 front door, the right return with a row of trefoil-headed timber lights. The gable end to Elm Grove Road has deep verges and matching bargeboards; shallow projecting stack with a moulded cornice and inward angled cap. To the right of the front elevation a stone rubble wall with a platband and irregular coping contains a crank-headed stone doorway with a plank door. The wall, which probably originally led to the garden, now conceals a flat-roofed C20 addition. The main block has a left end stack, the shaft similar to the right end stack. Grove House is not mentioned in White's 1850 Devon, but in the 1879 edition is described as owned by Robert Manning Davy, J.P., one of the "principal proprietors" of Topsham, also of Oxenway Lodge, Membury near Axminster.
