Description
South Lodge to Tehidy Park is likely to date from the 1790s, possibly 1791, originally built for Francis Basset, Lord de Dunstanville. It was later extended in the 20th century. The lodge is constructed of granite ashlar with a thatched roof. It comprises an octagonal front cell linked to a lower rear wing, and features a prominent porch designed as a porte-cochere.
The porch, the most striking feature, has a large gabled form with four-centred arches supported by square pillars with moulded capitals. The gable is carried on moulded corbels and contains a casement window with two arched lights, diamond and lozenge leaded glazing, and a hoodmould. A steeply-pitched thatched roof creates a deep canopy, with prominent boarded verges, a ridge chimney, and another chimney at the rear gable. Other windows on the porch's side walls have similar leaded glazing. The interior and rear of the lodge were not inspected. The addition to the left side, matching materials and style, is modern. The lodge’s design and form are similar to Eastern Lodge, Cot Road, and both originally served Tehidy House, the home of the Basset family.
