Description
Embley Lodge South is a lodge, one of a pair linked by a gateway, situated at the entrance to Embley Park. It was built around 1840, with an extension added in the mid-19th century. The lodge is constructed of stucco with moulded copings, caps, impost bands, and panels, along with a plain plinth and bold keys above the arched openings. An eaved architrave adorns the doorway, and the roof is covered in slate.
The original section is a tall, single-storey pavilion in a classical style and is symmetrical in form. It features broad rusticated pilasters at each corner and arches above the window openings, with triple keys. A wider section faces the driveway and contains the entrance. The upper part is a plain parapet with central panels, surmounted at the front and rear by concave pedestals.
At the front (southeast), walls extend to gate piers. To the north, the wall curves down to a pier; to the south, it curves down and extends, incorporating a 19th-century window, to a second pier that projects forward and connects to the curved end of the wall. The arched windows feature sash glazing, and the door is half-glazed.
A larger, two-storey wing was added in the mid-19th century. This is a plain, rectangular block with stuccoed walls, small casement windows, and a hipped slate roof at the south end.
