Description
Tor Royal Lodge is a lodge for Tor Royal House, dating from the early 19th century with a later 19th-century addition. It features granite rubble walls and a pyramidal roof made of slate and asbestos slate, along with a central axial chimney stack made of granite ashlar.
The lodge is designed with four rooms arranged around the central chimney stack, each originally having a corner fireplace. The two front rooms are the larger principal rooms. A later 19th-century outshut has been added to the left-hand end.
The exterior is a single storey with a symmetrical front that has two windows, each containing two-light 19th-century casements with four-centred arched heads and intersecting glazing bars. The central doorway has a blocked four-centred arch above it. There are remains of the original doorhood featuring a moulded cornice and one original pilaster at the rear, while the front has a renewed post. A supporting wall has been inserted under the left-hand side of the building, which has a 20th-century glazed door on its front wall. The other two elevations maintain their 19th-century arched-head casements.
Inside, the principal room includes a Victorian arched grate in the corner chimneypiece and a built-in settle facing it.
