Description
Detached three-bay one and a half-storey gate lodge, built c.1840. The gate lodge is constructed in rubble fieldstone. The large ground floor window has Gothic tracery and is set within a large Tudor-arched recess, while those to the first floor are lancets. The pitched roof is finished with natural slate. It is set close to a roadside beside a large segmental-arched gate with octagonal tower and castellated parapet with machicolations.
Appraisal
This small gate lodge has retained its original front, which matches the adjoining gate. Combined, the pair present a striking and memorable, romantic ensemble.
