Former Gatehouse And Adjoining Outbuildings At Tolethorpe Park

The former gatehouse and adjoining outbuildings at Tolethorpe Park date from the medieval period and later. They are constructed of coursed rubble and feature a steeply pitched Collyweston stone slate roof with coped gable ends and a small stone ridge stack. The gatehouse, located at the west end, includes a carriageway and a smaller pedestrian way, both with double chamfered arches. There is a cusped headed lancet on the east side of the carriageway, and a buttress beside the carriageway has set-offs.

To the east, there is a two-storey house with three windows, featuring 20th-century mullioned windows and a four-centred arch doorway with a drip mould. The outbuildings further to the east are covered by a continuous roof and include three stone-mullioned windows, two doorways, and a carriageway beneath timber lintels, along with two triangular dormers on the south side. The north side of the outbuildings has two buttresses and two dormers, one large and gabled, the other triangular. Additionally, there is a brick outhouse to the west of the gateway, which has a doorway and a semi-circular headed window with glazing bars.
