Description
Weacombe Lodge is a lodge associated with Weacombe House, dating from the early 19th century. The building features stucco over random rubble and has a slate roof that is hipped to the left and pyramid-shaped on the right. There are two brick stacks set diagonally in the center and another brick stack on the right return.
The plan includes a circular west end that is attached to a rectangular east block, with a service wing at the northeast corner. The lodge is a single storey and has a gabled bay on the left with a Tudor arched opening that contains a pair of Tudor arch-headed casements with marginal glazing bars. The scalloped bargeboards extend to the right along a verandah supported by wooden piers that carry shallow arches with pierced spandrels. Each of the four bays and part of the circumference of the circular block has three similar windows, with the service wing breaking forward at the rear.
The entrance is located center left and features a four-centred arch plank door. The gable end on the left has a recessed stone panel displaying the crest of the St. Albyn family, who owned Weacombe from 1850 to 1871.
