Description
The Gatehouse is a house from the mid to late 18th century, possibly incorporating parts of an earlier building. It has a rendered exterior with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof featuring stone gable copings and ashlar chimneys. The house is two storeys high and has three bays. The second bay contains a boarded door framed in plain stone, while the sash windows vary in size; the third bay has wider windows, with late 19th-century glazing in the ground-floor windows and above the door. The first floor features a 12-pane window on the left and a 16-pane window on the right, both with projecting stone sills. The third bay's windows are positioned on the left, leaving a wide blank space on the right. The roof is topped with two end chimneys.
