Description:

Interior view of the billiard room at Byfleet Lodge, Surrey. Interior view of the billiard room at Byfleet Lodge, Surrey. The focus is the extravagant inglenook fireplace that has a built in recess area at each side, featuring a chaise longue style upholstered seat. The fireplace has a tiled surround and the mantelpiece has a carved stone support and mantel. An animal skin rug sits in front of the fire. The overmantel is wood and extends up to the ceiling; a carved frieze runs along the top of the wall and is mirrored by a carved panel at the front of the inglenook. Light fittings sit each side of the fireplace to illuminate the inglenook and a stained glass panel forms part of the partition that separates the inglenook from the corridor. The walls have wooden dado panelling and busy foliate wallpaper. Above the inglenook appears another, larger frieze which shows male figures engaged in leisure activities. The depicted activities, such as ball games and cock fighting are punctuated by elaborate plasterwork; the ceiling which is just visible also bears an intricate plasterwork design. The edge of a billiard table is just visible. Byfleet Lodge, later known as the Clock House, was built in the late 18th century and enlarged in the late 19th century by the architects Notley and Trollope. The nationally listed Clock House was converted in the 1960s into a retirement communal home for the elderly before its latest renovation as flats for the over-fifties was completed in 2009.
