Gate Lodge And Gate Piers To Park Gate House

The Gate Lodge and associated gate piers to Park Gate House are located on Aireborough Park Road in Guiseley. This structure dates from the late 19th century and is built from sandstone ashlar with a slate roof. The lodge has a rectangular plan, is single storey, and consists of three symmetrical bays in an Italianate classical style.

The entrance features a shallow pedimented porch supported by panelled corner pilasters and two square Corinthian-style pillars. It has a recessed four-panel double door topped with a stilted segmental fanlight and impost bands. On either side of the door, there are round-headed windows with moulded sill bands, pilaster jambs, moulded heads, and keystones. The lodge also has panelled corner pilasters, a prominent modillioned cornice, and a modillioned pediment. The hipped roof includes a central chimney, and each return wall features a canted bay window with pilaster jambs and stilted segmental-headed lights, which are sashed without glazing bars and have a dentilled cornice.

The double gateway is flanked by three principal gatepiers, all made of sandstone, square in section, and approximately three metres high. These gatepiers have channelled rustication, round-headed panels on the front, a fluted frieze, and urn finials. The left gateway features ornamental cast-iron gates. The low concave curved outer walls are linked to the outer piers, which also display channelled rustication. The former railings are missing.
