Description
Detached three-bay single-storey classical style gate lodge, c.1830, with shallow central pedimented breakfront. Refurbished and extended, c.1990.

Appraisal
This classical gate lodge and entrance screen present a most attractive appearance on approach, announcing the style of the main house beyond. Though refurbished, the lodge retains its original proportions, carried through in the more simply executed rere wing.
