The Upper Lodge And Gatepiers With Walling At Carclew

The Upper Lodge and gatepiers with walling at Carclew is a lodge built in 1871 for Colonel Tremayne as part of the Carclew Estate. It was extended in 1985 with a wing in a similar style. The lodge is constructed of dressed and coursed freestone with granite quoins, sills, and lintels to the front elevations, with rubble otherwise. The steep, L-shaped roof is covered in Delabole slate, with projecting eaves and verges, exposed purlins, shaped bargeboards pierced with trefoils, and a brick chimney over the ridge intersection. The lodge has an L-shaped plan, with three rooms and a front entrance near the angle in the south wall of the longer western arm. The west front, facing the driveway, features a gable end projection with a 2-light window and a set-back side wall of the south wing with a single 2-light window. The south front consists of the side wall of the west wing, a doorway with a ledged door to the right, and a projecting gable end of the south wing with a 2-light window. All the original windows have round-headed arched lights with leaded lozenge patterned glazing. The interior was not inspected, but a hatch to the roof space bears the names of the workmen/builders, alongside that of Colonel Tremayne. The gatepiers are round-headed granite monoliths with adjoining rubble walling featuring sloped granite copings.
