Entrance Gateway With Lodge And Attached Outbuilding (Now Stable End, Middle Flat, Studio Flat, And Drying Green Cottage) Together With Garden Walls At Manor House

The entrance gateway with lodge and attached outbuilding, now divided into four dwellings (Stable End, Middle flat, Studio Flat, and Drying Green Cottage), along with the garden walls, is located at the Manor House. This structure dates from the earlier 17th century and 19th century, with some 20th-century alterations. It features ashlar stone, red brick with black brick patterns, and roofs made of Swithland slate and pantiles.

The earlier 17th-century gateway is made of ashlar stone and has a segmental arch with imposts. Fluted pilasters with reversed taper stand on either side, topped by an entablature with coping and finials. The lodge, built around 1830 and partly rebuilt in the 20th century, is rendered and shingle-clad, with a black glazed pantile roof and a brick end stack. The gable end has a five-light canted bay with leaded lights and a two-light casement above. To the right, there is a porch with a Tudor arch and door, along with a one-light leaded casement to the right and a similar two-light above.

The outbuilding is one and a half storeys tall, constructed of brick with a rubble stone plinth, featuring Swithland slate on the front and pantile on the rear roofs. It has 20th-century casements, two dormers, and buttresses, with doors located at the rear. Inside, tie-beam trusses with clasped principals are visible. The walls, partly dating from the 17th century, are made of brick, some with diaper patterns, and are coped with brick and black glazed pantiles, standing about 2.5 meters high. These walls create a forecourt for the Manor House and form a border garden to the left of the lodge.
