Description
North Gate, located at Bowland Policies in Bowland, is a 2-storey gate lodge built around 1820 in the castellated-gothic revival style. The lodge has a square plan and features adjoining Tudor-arched vehicle and pedestrian gateways on the right, along with an octagonal turret at the far right. It is constructed from coursed black whinstone with pale sandstone ashlar dressings, some of which are broached. The building includes a base course, a first-floor cill course, and a corbelled and machicolated parapet, with a curved parapet wall to the left.
The lodge is adorned with timber-mullioned, hoodmoulded Tudor windows, while the turret has slit windows, most of which are blind. It also features diamond-paned leaded casement windows, and both the front and rear elevations are identical. There is a flat-roofed single-storey extension on the south side elevation.
The entrance is marked by swept, spear-headed iron gates that display a trefoil pattern and pointed-arch forms, topped with pinecone finials.
