Description
South Lodges, gate piers, and walls are two park gate lodges, two gate piers, and surrounding walls, built around 1835. The lodges are made of ashlar with stone slate roofs, while the walls are constructed from squared dressed stone with ashlar copings. The two identical neo-Jacobean lodges are two storeys high, positioned parallel to the drive and at right angles to the Malmesbury road. They have a rectangular shape with gabled end walls adorned with balls and urns that lead to obelisks on the kneelers and at the apexes of the gables. The ground floor features two-light windows with hoodmoulds, and single-light windows are present on the upper floor. Tall ashlar stacks rise from the eaves at the rear. To the right, there is an intact square gate pier with a dentil cornice and an urn-obelisk finial; however, the original pier to the left has been demolished, leaving only a rebuilt stone stump. Curving quadrant walls end in square piers, creating a forecourt on both sides. At the time of the last survey in July 1986, both lodges were in a very poor state of repair.
