Description
South Lodge is a gate lodge built around 1840. It is constructed of ashlar sandstone and features a plain tiled roof. The building is L-shaped and single storey, with moulded bargeboards and pendants on the gables. There are paired stacks located at the centre right and on the rear transverse wing. The lodge has three stone mullioned windows with 3 and 2 lights, and a boarded door set in a four-centred arch, located in a gabled porch supported by posts. A mullioned bay window is present on the right return, along with mullioned and casement windows on the rear wing. This lodge is possibly designed by Anthony Salvin, who constructed the new house at Scotney Castle between 1837 and 1844, and serves as a gate lodge in the Tudor style.
