Description
Detached two-bay two-storey gate lodge to Richview house, c.1845. The façade is finished in unpainted roughcast, whilst the hipped roof is slated and has a rendered chimneystack. The entrance consists of a partly glazed timber door, whilst the generally small flat-headed windows have timber sash frames. Cast-iron rainwater goods. There is a tall roughcast wall to the west side of the lodge with a gateway to the south. The gateway has square pyramidal capped piers and replacement metal gates.
Appraisal
Well-preserved mid-19th century gate lodge whose value lies in its relatively simple, almost vernacular appearance.
