Dungeness Lighthousemen'S Dwellings

Dungeness Lighthousemen's Dwellings are two-storey structures that originated from the remains of a lighthouse built by William Coke of Holkham in 1792, designed by architect Samuel Wyatt. When a new lighthouse was constructed in 1904, the upper parts of the original lighthouse were demolished, but the two lowest storeys were preserved and converted into dwellings for the lighthouse keepers. Additionally, two separate houses were added in the early 19th century. The remaining structure is circular with a hollow center, creating a small circular courtyard. The exterior is stuccoed with a flat roof featuring a cornice and parapet. There are 16 sash windows with intact glazing bars, and every fourth window bay projects, with a door on the ground floor and a window above. The two early 19th-century additions on the southeast and southwest sides are small, square, single-storey houses or pavilions, each with two windows on each side. These are also stuccoed, with hipped slate roofs and wide eaves cornices, and their glazing bars are intact. Each has a small gabled porch on the inner side with a window facing inward and a six-panel door. On the outer side of each pavilion is the coat of arms of Trinity House.
