Description
The Lodge at St David's Hospital is a 19th-century building designed in the Italianate style. It is constructed from heavily rock-faced grey-brown snecked rubble stone, with an added northern crosswing made of coursed rubble stone featuring quoins. The building has painted freestone dressings, slate eaves roofs with bargeboards and finials, and stone chimneys with sloping caps. The windows are mainly horned sash glazing.
The lodge is two storeys high. The south gable end facing the drive has deep eaves with bargeboards, a two-light window on the first floor, and a square bay window on the ground floor topped with a hipped slate roof. This bay window features a triple arched window at the front and a single arched window on each side. The eastern elevation facing the road has a ridge chimney, possibly on the original northern end, a ground floor two-light window to the left, a centre gabled porch, and a three-light window to the right. Above the three-light window, there is an eaves-breaking two-light window under a gable with bargeboards. The porch is supported by painted ashlar piers and has imposts and a round arch with a keystone. The eaves are carried on timber brackets, and there is a 20th-century half-glazed door. The added gabled crosswing to the right matches the main style and has a two-light window on each floor, with a blocked single light on the southern return wall.
At the rear, the western side features a prominent stone chimney to the right and a broad single-storey block with a hipped slate roof to the left. The building has not been inspected.
