Description
The Gate House is a former railway crossing keeper's house built in the mid-19th century. It features ashlar stone with edged herringbone tooling and timber framing, topped with a shaped tile roof that has plain tile bands and an ashlar ridge stack. The building is oriented north-south and faces south. The south gable has two storeys, with a timber-framed and jettied upper storey adorned with fretted barge boards. It includes a central gabled porch with a four-centred arch opening and a bay window on the first floor with a hipped roof. On the east front, there is a three-light casement window on the ground floor to the left and a smaller casement window on the first floor to the left. The Churnet Valley Railway, which the house served, was opened in 1849.
