Description
The Gate House at Old Shute House, including the flanking walls and pavilions, dates from around 1570, though it may have origins in the earlier 16th century. It was originally aligned with the later parts of Old Shute House before those were demolished in 1785.
Constructed from stone rubble with freestone dressings, the gatehouse features a large three-storey tower with semi-octagonal corner turrets. It has stone mullion and transom windows, an enbattled parapet, and a carriageway with a timber four-centred arch, above which are the arms of William Pole. The flanking enbattled walls lead to smaller three-storey pavilions that have full height splayed bays and battlements. The interior is said to contain a moulded plaster ceiling.
