Gatehouses, Gate Piers And Gates Circa 90 Metres South Of Stowell Park House

Two gatehouses, along with attached gate piers and gates, are located approximately 90 meters south of Stowell Park House. These structures were likely designed by Sir John Belcher between 1886 and 1898. The gatehouses are constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone, topped with a stone slate roof and featuring ashlar stacks. The walls that connect the gatehouses to the gate piers and the wall to the right of the right-hand gatehouse are also made of coursed squared and dressed limestone.

The left-hand gatehouse, viewed from the garden, has a square, single-unit plan set diagonally to the gate piers, while the right-hand gatehouse has a similar basic plan with an extension on its right side. Both gatehouses are two storeys tall. The left-hand gatehouse features a 20th-century plank door with fillets set within a 'Tudor'-arched surround that has carved spandrels and a stopped hood, located off-centre to the right. On the first floor, there is a two-light stone-mullioned casement window with cinquefoil-headed lights and a stopped hood.

The right-hand gatehouse also has a 20th-century plank door with fillets in a 'Tudor'-arched surround, positioned off-centre to the right, next to stone steps leading up to a similar first-floor doorway. To the right of this door is a two-light stone-mullioned window with cinquefoil-headed lights and a stopped hood, and a similar single-light window is located to the left. The extension on the right has a single rectangular light with a stopped hood on the first floor. Both gatehouses have pyramidal roofs with ball finials, while the extension has a hipped roof. The lateral stacks include one that is diagonally set.

The walls connecting the gatehouses to the gate piers are approximately 2 meters high and have cappings that ramp up at either end. The square piers feature fielded panels, moulded cappings, and ornate urn finials decorated with fruit, flowers, and cherub-like heads. The gates incorporate some foliate wrought-ironwork and feature a deer's head at the apex. The interiors of the gatehouses have not been inspected.
