South Lodge

South Lodge is a house, formerly the lodge to Shobrooke House, built around 1850 by T L Donaldson for John Henry Hippisley. It is constructed from Portland stone ashlar and features slate roofs, showcasing a Neo-Latinate style. The building is mostly two storeys high and consists of a two-room main block with a central tripartite ashlar chimney stack. The east gable front includes a door and a Doric porch. There is a one-room block at right angles to the north and a single-storey wing with pierced stone parapets featuring a fretwork pattern facing the road to the south. The narrow round-headed windows have vermiculated quoins, simple architraves, and deep sills with small scrolls, positioned on either side of the porch, with another window above and in the left-hand wing. The timber casements have quarter circle tops and contain four panes per light with glazing bars in each opening. The roof has a low pitch, with eaves supported by simple scroll-shaped stone brackets.
