Description
The gatehouse, originally a toll house, is now a residential building likely dating from the mid to late 18th century. It features a combination of plastered stone and dressed stone, topped with a slate roof. The structure has a two-storey bowed bay with a gabled roof that extends over single-storey bays on either side. There is a later outshut with a catslide roof on the right side. The straight verge becomes wider over the single-storey bays.
The windows on the ground floor have flat mullions arranged in a 2:3:2-light configuration, while the first floor has a two-light window. The central bay includes two entrances flanking a window, with the left entrance featuring a gabled timber porch, and the right entrance now blocked with an inserted light. At the rear, there is a gabled wing and a later attached shed, along with a gable-end stack. This building was constructed in connection with the turnpike road from Kendal to Kirkby Lonsdale.
