South Lodge, Shore Road, Shandon

South Lodge, located on Shore Road in Shandon, is a single-storey and attic building designed in the Jacobethan style by J T Rochead in 1852. This former lodge to West Shandon House has a T-plan layout with an entrance tower situated in the re-entrant angle. The exterior is constructed from lime-washed rubble, accented with honey-coloured sandstone margins and dressings. Notable architectural features include shaped gables, hoodmoulds, quoin strips, blank plaques, and decorative finials.

The north elevation is asymmetrical, featuring an advanced bay at the center with a shaped gable. It includes a canted bay window with sandstone mullions and transoms, topped by a half-piended ashlar roof. A slender window is positioned at the center of the gablehead, while narrow round-headed windows are found on the left return and recessed to the left. The entrance door, located in the re-entrant angle to the right at the base of the tower, is segmental-headed with a stepped hoodmould and diagonal buttress. Above, there is a quasi-broached octagonal turret featuring round-headed lancets, a continuous hoodmould, a cornice, and a lead ogival roof with a finial. A modern flat-roofed addition has been built to the south against a former sandstone gatepier, and a rendered boundary wall curves to the right around the southwest side.

The northeast elevation features a flue projecting at the center of the gable, offset with sawtooth coping that rises to an apex stack. The south elevation is obscured by a wall but shows an advanced block with a shaped gable. It has a stepped tripartite window at ground level and a single window at the gablehead, although uPVC windows have been installed. The roof is covered in grey slate with lead flashings, and there is a broad apex stack on a pedestal base with twin diamond-set stacks, one of which is truncated. Ashlar coping adorns the skews, along with bracketed skewputts. The interior was not seen in 1993.
