Description

The gateway with steps and boundary walls to Upton House, built around 1814, is made of cast iron, limestone rubble, and ashlar. The exterior features a plain square gateway with a flat painted ashlar surround that has a beaded edge, cornice, and blocking. To the left, there is a coursed rubble wall that sweeps down and back to a gate on the right, while the boundary on the right immediately meets the adjacent property. Inside the gateway, there is a 20th-century iron gate and a rubble wall approximately 1.2 meters high topped with coping, leading to a square pier. This area includes a flight of one plus five stone steps and a landing. At the top, the steps continue as a stone flagged path leading to the main doorway and landing.
