St Martins Lodge

St Martin's Lodge is a villa, later a parsonage, and now a police administration building, dating to approximately 1820. It was designed by Thomas Harrison for his own residence. The building is constructed of lined stucco and brown brick, with a grey slate hipped roof.

The east-facing entrance front is three bays wide, and features a six-panel door with attached pilasters, an entablature with a modillion cornice, an overlight, and recessed twelve-pane sash windows above a plinth and a moulded string course. Brick chimneys are symmetrically placed on the roof. The south-facing garden front has a projecting central bay with a pediment gable and a single-story canted bay window with fifteen-pane French sashes. Other windows are recessed sashes with twelve panes, and the upper storey of the central bay features a canted balcony with a railing which is likely a replacement. Shaped external pelmets are present on the lower sashes and the central upper sash. The west face has a twenty-five-pane margined French sash and recessed twelve-pane sashes, all with cambered soffits. A small, flat-roofed brick extension adjoins the north face. The north face itself is of brown brick with irregular window placement, painted stone sills and gauged-brick heads.

The interior includes cellars with barrel-vaulted brick construction, flagstone floors and stone steps. The entrance lobby features a moulded plaster ceiling and six-panel doors. The south front room boasts panelled embrasures, shutters, and a small cornice. The north front room retains panelled embrasures, shutters, a blocked fireplace with an original surround, and a small cornice. The middle south room has panelled shutters on the bay window, a round-arched white-marble fireplace, and a cornice. The back south room has panelled shutters and a cornice. The stair hall has a segmental-arched ceiling. The open-string staircase has two quarter-landings, shaped brackets, two slender stick balusters per step, swept rail, and a rectangular lantern set into a segmental-arched ceiling. The second storey rooms include doors of six and four panels; the front south room has panelled embrasures, a wood fire surround, and a cornice, while the middle south room has panelled shutters, a simple fire surround, and a coved ceiling with a central panel; the back-south room includes panelled shutters and a cornice.
