Description

This pair of lodges, likely built in the early 19th century, is located at the southern edge of Princetown on the B3212. They feature granite rubble walls, with one lodge rendered. Both lodges have pyramidal slate roofs and central granite stacks. Each lodge is square in plan, consisting of four rooms with a central stack that serves fireplaces in the corners. They are single storey and have symmetrical fronts with two windows each, showcasing 2-light casements with 4-centred arched heads and intersecting glazing bars at the top. The southerly lodge includes a flat-roofed 20th-century glazed porch, while the other lodge has an earlier rendered porch with a hipped roof, which is unlikely to be original. The lodges are complemented by identical granite rubble garden walls at the front of each, and they are situated on opposite sides of the Plymouth road leading into Princetown.
