Description
Ashford Lodge Gatehouse is a lodge cottage built around 1840. It is constructed of gault brick in Flemish bond and has a slate roof. The building has an L-plan layout, with its main elevations facing northeast towards the access road to Ashford Lodge and northwest towards Sudbury Road. It is a single-storey structure.
The right end of the northeast elevation projects to create a splayed bay, featuring a central four-panel door flanked by original two-light casements on each side. To the left of the door, there is one original three-light casement. The northwest elevation includes one original three-light casement and one two-light casement. All the casements are divided by a single horizontal glazing bar positioned above the center.
The building has three projecting courses of brickwork beneath long overhanging eaves supported by flat brackets, and it features a hipped roof with a shallow pitch and three octagonal shafts. The southeast elevation, which faces Ashford Lodge, is adorned with a pedimented gable, corner pilasters, and three blind recesses with semi-circular heads.
