Terrace Lodge

Terrace Lodge is a lodge built in 1785 for Richard Colt Hoare, located at Stourhead Park in Stourton with Gasper. The building is constructed of dressed limestone and features a hipped Welsh slate roof with gable end pairs of diagonally-set rendered stacks. It is a single-storey structure with two windows.

The central projecting stone porch has a moulded Tudor-arched opening with a hoodmould, and chamfered lights on either side. The inner door is a half-glazed Tudor-arched design, flanked by three-light mullioned casements that have cusped arched lights and hoodmoulds. The parapet is decorated with pierced triangles, forming a triangle above the porch that displays the Hoare family arms.

On the right side, there are two three-light mullioned casements with cusped arched lights and hoodmoulds, while the left side features three single cusped-headed casements. At the rear, there is a courtyard with a Tudor-arched archway in the wall on the south side and a single-storey extension.

Although the interior was not accessible during the survey in October 1986, it is reported to contain a reset late 18th-century wooden fireplace surround with a scrolled frieze. Terrace Lodge is part of a group of picturesque lodges designed by Colt Hoare at Stourhead, likely by architect William Reveley, who created plans for Clock Tower Lodge dated 1797.
