South Lodge

ROMSEY EXTRA A27 SU 32 SW 2/24 Embley Park South Lodge

GV II

One of a pair of lodges, on either side of the entrance driveway, this on the south side. Early C19, with C20 alternatives and extensions. Yellow brickwork in Flemish bond, arches to ground-floor openings (recessed at the front), plinth: plain stone band at impost level. Steeply-pitched hipped roof, with eaves having coupled modillion brackets. The almost-square pavilion structure has symmetrical form, with a sash window to the (east) front, and above this a Coade stone panel (of putti cutting and collecting sheaves of corn). The wider entrance elevation (facing the driveway) has an upper casement window above a C20 brick porch, at each corner there are piers, the rear one marking the gate- way. To the south side there extends a single-storeyed C20 wing of brick and tile, and in front of this a low wall curves from the corner of the pavilion, to stop at an outer pier of yellow brickwork with a stone cap, and above the wall there is a decorative metal rail.
