Description
Gates House is a late 18th-century building of two storeys, situated on the north side of Church Street. The structure is built of red brick and features a hipped slate roof with a cornice. Three sash windows with glazing bars are set in reveals, each with a flat arch above. An intricate Adam-style fanlight is above the six-panel door, which is set within a round-headed alcove with panelled reveals. The door and alcove are enclosed by a carved wooden frame, incorporating reeded pilasters leading up to a shallow, projecting hood cornice. The building is part of a group value context with numbers 12 to 32 (even) on Church Street. NMR and the Victoria County History (page 268) provide further information.
