Gateway With Steps And Boundary Walls To Upton House

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.
