Cornwall Lodge

Cornwall Lodge is a detached house built around 1825, located on the south side of Bathwick Hill. It features limestone ashlar construction and has a late 19th-century hipped slate roof that is steeply pitched on the facets and flat lead in the center, with dormers on all sides. The building has a deep rectangular plan, with stairs to the right of the entrance, a drawing room, and a conservatory overlooking the garden to the south.

The house is two storeys high with attics and a lower ground floor, presenting a symmetrical three-window front. A low coped parapet rises gently over an open balustraded panel beneath a blocking course, which has anthemion acroteria carved into it, likely from a former dormer. The cornice and frieze wrap around the building and extend over clasping pilasters at each projecting angle, while the first-floor sill bands stop at the pilasters. It features plate glass sash windows, with a blind window over the door and in the returns of the rear wing.

The projecting enclosed porch has a low coped parapet, a cornice, clasping pilasters, and a semicircular arch over a plain fanlight and door, with cornices on consoles flanking the windows. To the right of the porch is a similar lower plain block. The rear elevation includes a swept hipped canopy leading to a cast iron trellised verandah and a conservatory at the rear left angle.

Although the interior was not inspected, it was recorded by the Bath Preservation Trust in 1987, noting a cantilevered stone staircase with turned banisters, fine plasterwork, original marble chimneypieces, reeded door architraves, and six-panel doors. Cornwall Lodge is a notable late Georgian villa that reflects the development of Bathwick Hill, with its date derived from a conveyance from the Earl of Pulteney's estate. John Pinch the Elder may have contributed to its design.
