Detached two-bay single-storey triple-pile gate lodge to Gloster House, built c.1820, abutting main entrance gates. Triple pitched slate roofs with terracotta ridge tiles, decorative bargeboards and cast-iron rainwater goods. Random coursed limestone walls. Square-headed window openings with tooled limestone sills and labels. Square-headed door opening with timber battened door. Replacement double gates supported by rendered piers and flanked by quadrant walls.
This gate lodge is of apparent architectural detailing with the hoodmouldings, ridge tiles and the bargeboards. The triple pile plan of the gate lodge is distinctive and an unusual layout for gate lodges.
