Gate, piers, and steps. C18. Wrought iron, red brick piers with stone coping slabs, Portland stone steps and threshold. A single gate in an iron screen between rectangular red brick piers in Flemish-bond 3M high with simple oversailing stone capping. Stone threshold one step up from outside extends as landing to 5 stone steps up from garden between monolithic side-slabs level with landing. The iron screen is composed of 2 tall rectangular elaborately scrolled standards with scrolled finials. These standards rise higher than the adjoining piers and are braced to them by scrolled quadrants from their caps. A narrow rectangular scrolled overthrow panel braces the standards apart a little below their heads, and has below it the bar receiving the top pivot of the gate and the narrow side panels. Plain bars and dog-bars in the lower panels of each but twisted spirals above a crossrail in gate. Elaborate scrolled work in upper parts of side panels.
