Description
Bossington Place Lodge, formerly known as New Place Lodge, is a lodge to Bossington Place, now a private dwelling, built around 1900, presumably by Edmund Buckle. The building is rendered over rubble and features a hipped thatched roof with circular roughcast stacks rising above the eaves. It has a plan that includes a gateway flanked by single rooms, each with separate staircases, showcasing a picturesque vernacular style.
The lodge is one and a half storeys tall and consists of three bays. The outer bays have hipped thatched dormers with 2-light casements, while the central bay has a thatched roof that sweeps down over a 3-light casement above a square-headed gateway opening, which has wooden lintels and jambs, along with hipped thatched hoods over the 4-light canted outer bays. The rear elevation features arched studded double doors with a wicket gate and Tudor arch-headed entrances. Due to the sloping site, the north-east corner at the rear is supported on a single circular column. The lodge was illustrated by Chadwyck-Healey in his book, The History of the Part of West Somerset, published in 1901.
