Gatehouse Cottage

Gatehouse Cottage is a building that was originally a store and dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with a later 17th-century extension on the right. It is constructed of roughly coursed granite with dressed blocks on the right and features a gabled slate roof adorned with carved finials at the stone coping. The building has a rendered granite ridge stack with a drip course. It has a two-unit plan, is one storey high with an attic, and has a two-window range.

The front includes granite lintels above a late 19th-century central plank door and late horned 19th-century sash windows, with the right window featuring a 17th-century ovolo-moulded lintel and jambs. There is also a late 19th-century sash window set in a chamfered surround on the right gable end. A 20th-century outshut is present at the rear left. Inside, there is a chamfered window architrave next to a 17th-century doorway with an ovolo-moulded surround on the rear left. One of the principal rafters from the 17th century has a curved foot.

Gatehouse Cottage is depicted as a store on a 1713 plan of Hugh Fort by Colonel Christian Lilley and is an important part of the late 16th and 17th-century fortifications centered around Star Castle.
