Description

South Lodge is a villa built in 1831, featuring a square plan and constructed from coursed stone with ashlar dressings. It stands two storeys high with overhanging eaves that are boarded, and a hipped slate roof. The south front showcases a central entrance with double doors and a fanlight, flanked by sidelights, all beneath a porch supported by four stout, unfluted Doric columns, which are topped with a high frieze and cornice. The ground floor includes two 12-paned and two 15-paned sash windows, while the upper floor has five 12-paned sash windows. At the rear, there is an earlier wing that is lower in height but has been altered. Inside, the villa features a staircase with iron balusters.

Local climate

South Lodge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,420 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 98% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 56% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
