Northgate Lodge at the southern end of a large plot to the north of the North Gate of Totnes and to the east of Totnes Castle. The curtilage between Shooters Hil and Castle Street is raised above the level of the road and surrounded by a stone wall. Access to the property from the north is through a double door set in a granite arch of neo-classical design.The lodge may occupy land which was part of the outer bailey to the castle. It lies just north of the point where the inner bailey ditch would have met the inner bailey wall. Before the Conquest, the route beside the property may have been a drove leading from riverside grazing into the defended settlement of Totnes. Illustrations.
