Description
The building to the south-east of Devonshire Royal Hospital is a bath accommodation that was constructed in 1914 and later altered in the late 20th century. It is made of ashlar gritstone with ashlar dressings and features an iron balustrade. The roof is flat, made of lead and part glazed, and the architectural style is Baroque Revival.
The exterior is a single storey with a symmetrical front that has 13 windows arranged in the pattern of 1:4:1:4:1, all under a stone parapet with iron balustrading. The central entrance features a rusticated projecting porch with three round arches, each concave and topped with a prominent keystone and a segmental pediment with a leaded segmental roof. On either side of the entrance are small oval windows in moulded surrounds with keystones. Beyond the entrance are four windows in moulded surrounds with key blocks and 20th-century casements. The building has slightly projecting outer wings that contain similar single windows topped with double keystones and pediments. The left and right returns each have two windows. The rear of the building takes advantage of the ground slope, featuring stone walls and iron rails.
Interior access is limited, but it suggests a central corridor with changing cubicles to the left and baths to the right.
