Garth Cottage And Garth Mews, Gatehouses To Bishopthorpe Garth

Garth Cottage and Garth Mews are a pair of gatehouses built around 1908 by Brierley. They are constructed from hand-made pinkish-brown brick in English bond, with the rear left side rendered, and feature a pantile roof on the main block, which is concealed on the right side. The main block has a central carriage arch, with an outshut at the rear of the left house and at the end of the right house. The buildings are single storey with an attic, comprising six bays and a three-bay outshut on the right.

The house on the left has a central entrance beneath a hood, with 4-pane casement windows and a single-pane casement, all featuring moulded brick cills and header arches. The walls curve towards the carriage entrance, each containing a casement window under a moulded arch with a header cill. The entrance in the outshut of the right house is under a carved oak hood, with casement windows dressed similarly to those on the left. Pilasters define each bay of the outshut, and there are ridge stacks present.
