Description
Drove Lodge is a lodge for Stourhead House, built around 1790 for Richard Colt Hoare. It is constructed of rubble stone and features a tiled hipped roof with bands of fishscale tiles and ashlar stacks with moulded cappings. The building is single-storey with a three-window front facing the road. The central section has a canted bay with two-light and single-light mullioned casements that have cusped arched lights, flanked by two-light mullioned casements with cusped arched lights on either side, all of which are adorned with hoodmoulds. There are single-storey lean-to extensions with planked doors attached to the left and right sides, and a 20th-century lean-to addition at the rear. Drove Lodge is one of several lodges designed in a picturesque style for Colt Hoare, possibly by William Reveley, who also designed the Clock Tower Lodge in 1797.
