This gate lodge has retained its picturesque charm and is enhanced by the retention of many original features and materials such as the carved and overhanging roof trim, slate roof, panelled entrance door, mullioned windows and unusual sash windows. Its quirky chimneystacks lift the property above the ordinary.
