Description
Number 4 is an entrance lodge dating from the early 19th century, with some minor later alterations. It is constructed from uncoursed limestone rubble and features a shallow pyramidal slate roof with a central red brick stack that has dentilled capping. The building has a square plan and stands two storeys tall, with two windows. The windows are 19th-century multi-paned cast-iron casements; the lower left window is mullioned and transomed with a segmental head, while the lower right window is blind. To the left and right of a central plain pilastered timber porch, which has a contemporary boarded door, are these windows. The right wall has the same window pattern, except the ground-floor windows and the upper left window are blind. The left wall features two windows on each floor, flanking a blind or infilled segmental-headed doorway.
Attached to the lodge is a wall that is possibly slightly later in date. This wall is made of roughly coursed limestone rubble with ashlar coping, which ramps up to a gate pier. The gate pier is constructed from regularly coursed limestone rubble with ashlar capping and is topped with a ball finial. There is a painted wrought-iron gate from the 19th century.
