Description
The Gatehouse, The Little Gatehouse, and stable walls, now converted into two houses, were built around 1830 and altered in the mid to late 20th century. The structure is primarily built from multi-coloured stock brick and Roman cement, with a low-pitched slate roof. Designed in a classical style, it features a U-plan with former stables and grooms' accommodation on the north-west side and a 20th-century single-storey extension in a matching style on the south-west side.
The two-storey exterior has two chimneys and sash windows with glazing bars. The south-east front, which serves as the entrance, has seven bays. It features a rusticated ground floor, a moulded string above the ground floor, a projecting band at the first floor, a string at the first-floor sill level, a blocking course, a moulded cornice, and a low parapet. A slightly projecting central bay has angle pilasters and a pediment; it contains a Venetian window with a moulded architrave for the central arch and Doric order details on either side. A round-arched carriageway runs centrally through the ground floor, leading to an internal yard. First-floor windows on either side have moulded architraves with alternating triangular and segmental pediments. Windows on the ground floor have semicircular heads. Pilasters are present at the corners. The rear (north-west) front has a central projecting pediment with a round window above the carriageway, and a single sash window on each side, each with a gauged brick arch.
The paved courtyard at the rear is enclosed on the north-west by brick walls constructed in Flemish bond, with two gate piers topped with ball finials. The side wings are built in stock brick, each with three bays and gauged brick arches over the sash windows. The interior was not inspected. The gatehouse has group value, contributing to the character of the area.
