Description
Detached three-bay one and a half-storey gate lodge to Holywood House, built c.1870 in a Gothic style. The gate lodge is finished in render with moulded dripstones and dressings. The panelled front door is set within a recent projecting gabled porch; it has a flat-arched opening and has plain sidelights which are within pointed-arched openings. Window openings are flat-headed with casement windows with paired pointed-arch panes. The hipped roof has wide overhangs and a bracketed eaves and uPVC rainwater goods. The chimneystack has tall octagonal pots. The gate lodge is set by the roadside behind a gate screen. The gate screen has wrought-iron gates and matching railings with octagonal pillars.
Appraisal
Well preserved gate lodge of the later 19th century, which with its equally well preserved contemporary gate screen compliments its rural setting.
