Description

Helston Lodge is an estate lodge built between 1838 and 1841 by H Park Street for John Rogers. A kitchen was added in 1879. The building is constructed of killas rubble with granite dressings and features a dry Delabole slate roof with projecting eaves and verges. It has angled moulded fascia, moulded barge boards, and exposed paired purlins with nail-head ends, along with two gabled dormer windows. There are two lateral rubble stacks, one at the angle and one at the rear left, both with granite weatherings and brick shafts.

The lodge is designed in the Tudor Gothic style and is two storeys high, with first-floor rooms partly in the roof space. The entrance front is irregular with two windows and includes an entrance wing that is fronted by a gable porch, which projects forward on the right. The ground floor features three-light granite mullioned windows with hoodmoulds, while the first floor has two-light windows, all fitted with 20th-century casements with glazing bars. The left-hand window on the first floor sits on a moulded corbelled sill, and there are windows on both the ground and first floors of the right-hand return.

The entrance includes a four-centred arched granite doorway with two arch stones that project as moulded kneelers. The door itself is studded with three vertical panels and has small windows on either side of the porch. Inside, the lodge retains original panelled doors and other carpentry and joinery features, although there is a 20th-century staircase. Above the bay window, there is a frieze of carved panels, some of which are likely from the 17th century and are presumed to have originated from the Manor House.
