Description
The building is a cottage or outbuilding, altered to serve as a gatehouse to a forecourt, with attached walls. The core of the structure dates to the late 17th century, with a later 18th-century right section. A 19th-century brick addition was built to the left, and the carriage opening and subsequent alterations likely occurred around 1923. It is constructed of coursed ironstone, with a 20th-century tile roof featuring coped gable parapets and ironstone end stacks with a splayed string course. The building has a two-unit plan and is one storey high with an attic, featuring a single-window range on the front. The front of the gatehouse, facing the forecourt, has a central doorway set within large ashlar blocks, showcasing chamfered jambs and a slightly cambered lintel, with a 20th-century plank door. To the left is a three-light stone mullioned window with a hood mould, and above is a hipped roof dormer with a three-light leaded casement. A carriage opening is located to the right, having a substantial timber lintel supported by simple moulded stone. A single-storey brick addition from the 19th century is situated to the left, with stone quoins and a hipped roof, including an arched window facing the forecourt and a canted end with a central altered opening and smaller windows. Stone lintels with keystones are present. The rear of the building features a three-light moulded stone mullioned window with a hood mould to the right, and a similar 20th-century window within a 20th-century coped gable above the carriage opening. A wall to the left is likely from the early or mid-18th century, constructed of regular coursed ironstone with a flat projecting coping, stepped up over the gateway. On the garden side, the gateway has a heavy Gibbs surround and a flat arch with a keystone. The wall to the right is a mix of 17th and 18th-century construction, with coursed dry ironstone on the left and rough drystone on the right; the left section has a coping, while the right does not. The left wall adjoins Radway Grange, and the right wall abuts a dovecote.
