Description
These forecourt lodges were built in 1839-40 as part of the former Lamellion Hospital, originally a workhouse. They were designed by John Foulston of Plymouth. The lodges comprise two similar rectangular blocks flanking a carriageway entrance. Each lodge has short wings at the front and deeper wings to the rear, with service ranges set back on either side. They are single-storey structures with hipped dry slate roofs and stucco facades on masonry walls. The fronts each have five bays, with plain pilasters marking the divisions. The third bay of each front projects as a hipped end with two windows. An entrance porch with a four-panel door is situated in the inner angle of the right-hand lodge. The windows are 20th-century 16-pane horned sashes, and there is a moulded eaves cornice. The interior was not inspected. Square gate piers with scrolled heads flank the gateway, which has original wrought-iron gates with scrolled detail and a ramped top rail.
