The Gate House

The Gate House is a small building dating from the mid to later 19th century, built in an irregular shape. It is constructed of red brick with a roof of alternate courses of plain and shaped tiles, topped with cresting. The south-east wall is blank. The east-facing bay, which rounds the corner and fronts the gates, has a hip roof above a three-light leaded casement window on the first floor; below is a pointed two-light Gothic window with stone dressings. The north front has a Gothic casement window on the first floor, and a splayed four-light bay window with a hipped canopy, each light with a pointed head, on the ground floor to the right. A pointed window with stone dressings is on the ground floor to the left. A 19th-century lamp bracket is located below the first-floor window. A west extension has a slate gabled roof, containing a round-headed ledged door, a round-headed window with a radiating glazing pattern, and a recessed ledged door. The building is included as part of a group, along with Honeywood Museum and associated walls, the road bridge, Leoni bridge, culvert, and retaining walls to Carshalton Ponds, No 1 High Street, entrance gates to The Grove, Anne Boleyn’s Well, St Mary's Church, Madeley Cottage, the Greyhound Inn, the wall to the east of the Greyhound, the Church of All Saints, the north churchyard wall, and No 6 High Street.
