Each lodge has one window on each face, surrounded by moulded stone with a keystone and cill on tabs, a cornice, and hung sashes with glazing bars. The lodges have a stone eaves cornice and hipped roofs. The doors are six-panel designs in moulded stone surrounds with cornices. The composition includes curved forecourt walls with stone coping and plinth, as well as gatepiers. The architects of this structure were Gilbert Scott and George Moffat. The Gate House, along with the Lodge (No 16), forms part of a group that includes Sewerby House, its terrace balustrade, attached garden wall, courtyard archway, conservatory, and stable block.
