Lower Lodge with Attached Screen Walls

Lower Lodge with attached screen walls is a lodge for Caerhays Castle, built around 1808 by John Nash for J.B. Trevanion. It is constructed of slatestone rubble, with some parts rendered, and features roofs behind parapets. The lodge has a two-room plan, with one room on each side of the driveway behind the entrance facade. Each room is heated from a stack that is concealed in a small octagonal tower at the rear. The facade facing the road is asymmetrical, with a gateway flanked by circular plan towers on each side.

To the left, the screen wall runs in a serpentine shape for about 30 meters, while to the right, the screen wall forms an arc approximately 10 meters long, ending with a square plan terminal tower. The design is in a picturesque Gothic style.

The gateway features a rounded slatestone arch with a granite keystone and granite corbels, along with a corbelled string course above and an embattled parapet that includes a central stone quatrefoil with a shield of arms. The circular plan towers on either side are two stories tall, adorned with bull-nose moulding and embattled parapets, and they have lancet windows at the ground floor and blind cross loops at the first floor. The serpentine wall on the left is battered at the base, has a slatestone rubble string course, and an embattled parapet that stands about 3 meters high, tapering down to the left. The wall on the right is similar but about 4 meters high, with the terminal tower featuring a square plan, slatestone string course, and embattled parapet. Each rear wing of the lodge is single storey, rendered on the inner side, and has a string course and embattled parapet. Each side has two 2-light 12-pane casement windows with segmental arches. The interior has not been inspected.
