West Lodge And Gateway, Gosford House

West Lodge and Gateway at Gosford House, designed by R W Billings and dated 1854, features a Venetian arch gateway that is two bays deep, with a two-bay lodge attached to the south. The structure is made of coursed red sandstone ashlar, complete with a moulded base course, string course, impost course, cornice, and blocking course, as well as scroll-flanked dies.

On the west elevation, there are armorial plaques flanking the arch, along with a motto and coronets above. The scrolled and swagged blocking course has two dies at the center and four facetted polyhedral finials. Three squared Doric columns support the arch on each side, with the middle column featuring a panelled band, and a rib barrel vault above.

The east elevation mirrors the west, with initial plaques flanking the arch and a date plaque above. It has a plain blocking course with two urns and a drinking fountain to the left.

The lodge has a rectangular plan and a platform roof, set at an oblique angle to the south. It uses the same materials as the gateway, with a door on the southwest side and windows on both the ground and first floors, all featuring moulded architraves and chamfered cills. The first-floor windows break the eaves course, and there is a cornice arched with initial plaques over the windows. All openings are currently blocked as of 1990, and there are corniced stacks.

The gateway and lodge are flanked by obliquely set red sandstone ashlar walls, which include a base course and coping with scrolled brackets, closing in corniced columns with finials, detailed as previously described. The estate is further enclosed by adjoining rubble policy walls.
