Description
Gate House is a cottage dating from the 17th to 18th century, with a 19th-century bakehouse and outhouse on either side. It features a timber frame with plaster and has a half-hipped red plain tiled roof that extends as an outshot to the right over the outhouse, while the left side has a single-storey roof over the bakehouse. There are red brick chimney stacks to the right and above the bakehouse. The building is one storey with attics and includes two gabled dormers. It has a two-window range of 19th-century two-light casements with central glazing bars and pentice boards above. The central entrance is a red tiled and plastered gabled porch with a vertically boarded door. The interior consists of two bays with stop-chamfered bridging joists. Gate House was once the gatehouse to Chappel Farm.
