North Cottage With Quadrant Walls And Gate Piers Adjacent

North Cottage is a gatelodge with quadrant walls and gate piers, newly built in 1860. It is constructed from squared stone with cut quoins and dressings, topped with a slate roof. The lodge is a single storey with three symmetrical bays. It features a chamfered plinth and a central boarded door set in a chamfered surround with broach stops, sheltered by a rustic wood porch. Above the door is a gablet adorned with traceried bargeboards and an octagonal finial, enclosing a plain shield-shaped panel. The flanking bays contain chamfered mullioned windows, each fitted with a pair of narrow 12-pane sashes. The returns display similar windows with spherical triangle windows above, all under steeply-pitched gables. The rear wall has two flanking stacks, with the right stack projecting and stepped, featuring octagonal shafts and moulded cornices. The monolithic gate piers have simple pyramidal caps and are connected by walls with chamfered coping to similar coursed-stone outer piers. This lodge and gateway remain unaltered and were built as the north entrance to Marley Cote Walls.
