MEM22370 - The Turret, Lee Road, Lynton (Building)

The Turret is three-storey and stone rubble, canted bays with sash windows and tilehanging. At the south-west corner is a belvedere with a pyramid roof capped by a lead finial. [1] The building is not shown on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map but appears on the 2nd Edition. [2,3] The villas are shown on the 2022 MasterMap data as a semidetached pair of properties. [4] The villas along the north side of Lee Road form a long row of frontages set back behind short front gardens. All are closely spaced and within long rectangular plots. The first built, now known as Victoria Lodge (MEM22371), stood in isolation until its neighbours were constructed some 20 years later around 1900. [5] The heritage asset was assessed for inclusion on the Exmoor Local Heritage List in November 2022. It was decided to add the asset to the Local Heritage List. [6]
