Description
The Gate House at Thurston Place is a gate lodge dating from the early 19th century. It features a timber frame with plastered roughcast panels set on a painted brick plinth. The building has low-pitched hipped roofs covered with slate and axial chimneys, one made of red brick and the other with a circular flue made of diaper-patterned gault terracotta tiles. It is a single-storey structure with two windows facing the drive and another set facing the road. The windows are casements with two lights and Y-tracery in pointed heads, reflecting a Gothic style. The entrance door is a six-panelled design with a pointed head, where the upper pair of panels is glazed. There is a 19th-century open gabled entrance porch supported by posts, also with a slated roof.
