Description
Caravone Lodge, built around 1849, serves as the lodge for the west entrance of the Trelowarren estate and includes adjoining screen walls. The building is constructed of elvan ashlar with granite dressings and features dry Delabole fishscale slate roofs, wide eaves, and ogee-shaped and cusped wooden barge boards on the gable ends. There is an ashlar chimney located in the middle of the rear wall.
The lodge has a T-shaped plan with two equally sized rooms and a central two-storey porch at the front. It is designed in the Tudor style and stands two storeys tall. The symmetrical south entrance front, which faces the carriageway, has three bays. The central porch, which has a gable end, projects forward and features a central four-centred arched doorway with the original panelled door. Above this doorway is a mullioned window with two trefoil-headed lights. The flanking bays are blind, except for two narrow window openings on the ground floor. Each gable end has a four-light mullioned window on the ground floor and a two-light window above. All principal openings are adorned with hoodmoulds.
At the rear left, there is an elvan ashlar screen wall with dressed stone coping and a roll-moulded apex. A similar wall with a four-centred doorway and a ledged door is located to the right. Caravone Lodge is noted as the most complete and architecturally embellished of the five lodges associated with the Trelowarren estate.
