Gatehouse. Probably c1900, although it may incorporate earlier
masonry; gates mid C19. Stone rubble with red sandstone
dressings. Flat concrete roof to centre section. Wide, covered
passage in centre with small roofless chamber at either side.
Single-storeyed. Designed as a Gothic folly. In the centre a
tall, wide pointed arch. At either side a smaller pointed
arch, that to right chamfered with worn pyramid stops. At
either end a segmental-headed window filled with an iron
grille. Battlemented parapet, that over the main arch with
moulded stone battlements. Inside the main arch a pair of iron
gateposts with open Gothic tracery and crenellated tops;
moulded inscription MARTIN. EXETER; centres of posts now
encased in concrete. Pair of gates with Gothic tracery. Inside
the passage is a pointed-arched doorway in each side wall;
ceiling with beaded beam and joists. Rear arch matching that
at front. The small side-arches have iron gates with decorated
finials to the uprights. Inside, defining paths leading to the
centre passage are iron railings of similar design. A
photograph published c1896 shows a very different gatehouse.
The gates and gate piers were already there, but above them
was what appeared to be a timber-framed structure, and at
either side a cottage.
(Gregory C: Brixham in Devonia: Totnes: 1896-).
