Gate Piers and Gates Beside North Lodge

The gate piers and gates beside North Lodge are a pair of structures dating from 1882, located at the entrance to the north drive of Ashtead Park House. Recently restored, they are made of Portland stone and wrought iron. Each pier is approximately half a metre square and about four metres high, featuring three raised vermiculated bands, a cornice, a cubic upper stage with panelled sides, a moulded cornice, and a ball finial on a swept pedestal. The large double gates are hung on square wrought-iron standards adorned with scrollwork and topped with urn finials. Each gate includes spear-headed dog-bars, a low band of spindles, a central panel of scrollwork, and an upper band of spindles with the figures "18" and "82" attached to the left and right gates, respectively. The gates also feature elaborate scrolled cresting that rises to a central ramp. To the right of the gates is a pedestrian gate designed in a similar but simpler style, and to the left is a matching screen. This structure shares a similar style with the set of gate piers on Park Lane.
