Gatehouse And Attached Garden Walls Immediately East Of Poxwell House

The gatehouse and attached garden walls immediately east of Poxwell House are a notable architectural feature, dating from 1634 for the gatehouse and the 17th century for the walls. The gatehouse is hexagonal in shape and constructed with brick cladding in stretcher bond over what is likely a rubble core. It has a brick plinth moulding, stone string, and cornice moulding. The corners are accentuated by circular brick buttresses, which include a band of glazed bricks featuring embossed jewel ornaments and the initial "H," topped with stone finials. The roof is pyramidal, covered with clay tiles and finished with a stone finial at the apex.

Both the east and west walls of the gatehouse feature archways with moulded jambs and semi-circular heads, one of which has a dated keystone. An external staircase leads to the upper floor, which is adorned with two-light windows that have a central mullion on both the east and west sides, along with fixed iron-framed, glazed windows.

The attached garden walls extend north and south from the gatehouse and return to the house, dating from the 17th century or later. These walls are made of red brick and topped with triangular brick coping that has moulded dentils. They feature a level course of bricks at the apex and are heavily ramped towards the gatehouse and at the corners.
