Description
The gatehouse at Wilmslow Park is a late 19th-century structure built from red and blue bricks arranged in wide alternating bands, featuring painted ashlar dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof and decorative barge boards. This single-storey, single-bay building rises from a shallow plinth and is located next to the former pedestrian access to Wilmslow Park. It includes a single doorway with a four-panel door and overlight, as well as a blocked window opening on the side, both topped with shallow pointed arched heads in banded brickwork. There is also a blocked gable window facing the road. The gatehouse is believed to have been constructed to control pedestrian access to what was then the private Bollin Park, now known as Wilmslow Park. It is listed for its group value with the Lodge.
