Description
The gatehouse is a semi-detached cottage from the 18th century that has been modified. It is constructed from local lias stone that has been cut and squared. The roof is divided into three parts: the northern section continues from Lavenders and features double Roman clay tiles with a stepped coped gable to the south. The middle section is set back and has a triple roll clay tile roof with a coped gable to the south, while the attached wing to the south has plain clay tiles and plain gables, along with brick chimney stacks.
The building has two storeys and consists of three single-bay sections. The first bay, which continues from Lavenders, has 20-pane sash windows on the ground floor and is blank above. The second bay, which is set back, features a 2-light small pane casement window below, set in a voussoired segmental arched opening. To the right of this window is a 6-panel door topped with a simple lead-coved timber roof, and above it is a 12-pane sash window. The third unit was formerly a separate building to the southwest but is now attached by a wing wall and is blank on the street side. The north gable has two early pattern 3-light leaded casement windows, with the lower window set to the right of a boarded door in a heavy frame, and timber lintels above each opening. The central bay features a large extension at the rear. The interior has not been seen.
