Gate Lodge, North East Of Helmingham Hall

The Gate Lodge, located northeast of Helmingham Hall, is a gate lodge built around 1820, possibly designed by B. B. Catt of Ipswich. It is constructed of brick and features roofs made of pantile. The building stands two storeys tall with a shallow-pitched, gable-facing range that projects from the center of the longer range, having one window on either side. At the intersection of the roof ridges is an octagonal chimney stack. The windows are flat arched and have leaded casement lights, with the window in the center range on the first floor featuring a Tudor weathermoulding. The entrance below is pointed arched and is flanked by pointed-arched lancets, with a door that retains its original design. This lodge is an early example of a modestly scaled Tudor revival house and forms a group with Helmingham Hall.
