Port Lympne South Lodge, Wall And Gate Pier

Port Lympne South Lodge, wall and gate pier is a gate lodge built around 1912, likely designed by Sir Herbert Baker for Sir Philip Sassoon. It is constructed of red brick with a plain tile roof and stands at one and a half storeys on a low brick plinth. The brickwork features indented corners that resemble rusticated quoins, and the gables are shaped with brick copes. A central brick ridge stack has a moulded cornice. Each gable end includes one two-light casement window on each floor, with moulded brick hoodmoulds; the upper window's hoodmould is shaped to suggest a triangular pediment, while the lower window's is horizontal. The elevation facing the drive has two two-light casement windows at ground level, also with horizontal hoodmoulds. There is a central half-glazed door to the drive, framed by a rectangular bolection-moulded stone architrave with a keystone and a segmental pediment on consoles. The initials "P.S." are displayed on the gable ends. A wall with a dipped top extends north from the east gable end to a brick gate-pier featuring rusticated brick quoins, a moulded brick plinth and cornice, and topped with a stone pineapple. The interior has not been inspected.
