Tregothnan Lodge, Walls And Bollards, Tresillian

A gatehouse comprised of two lodges, along with adjoining walls and bollards, likely dates to the 1840s. It is possibly the work of Vulliamy, who also contributed to Tregothnan House between 1845 and 1848. The gatehouse is constructed of gault brick with granite dressings, and features steep Delabole slate roofs with gable ends; internal slopes are clad in asbestos cement slates. There are lateral, diagonally set brick chimneys positioned over the inner side walls. The two lodges are identical in design, boasting a 2-room plan and flanking a carriage gate. They are built in a Tudor style, and are two storeys in height. The north front has two windows, with a pair of traceried wooden entrance doors and a wicket set within a moulded 4-centred arch featuring Tudor roses in the spandrels and a hoodmould. A shaped pediment surmounts the arch, containing a carved coat of arms within a pointed arch tympanum. There are 3-light wooden casements with glazing bars and granite hoodmoulds over the windows at each gable end. The first-floor windows have taller middle lights, and are adorned with shaped and pierced wooden bargeboards. The interior has not been inspected, but the west lodge is larger. Granite coped quadrant walls are present, featuring rusticated terminal piers and lion sejant finials. Lower rubble walls, also with granite coping, extend parallel to the drive. Two lines of granite bollards with domed heads, and chains connecting them, are also linked to the walls and the main doorway.
