Description
The entrance gateway to Aucheneck House, built around 1880, features an impressive design with an adjacent lodge and remodelling of the house. The gateway is marked by central piers topped with obelisk finials and flanked by swept wing walls. The piers are made of sandstone ashlar, with the ones at the ends of the wing walls being droved. The wing walls are constructed from coursed, decoratively tooled sandstone, finished with ashlar coping.
At the center of the gateway, there is a pair of rectangular-plan gatepiers, although the gates themselves are missing. Each gatepier has a base course, frieze, and cornice, with attached piers on both the eastern and western faces. The rounded coping of these piers is also topped with obelisk finials. The wing walls feature V-shaped coping that is flattened at the apex and topped with decorative cast-iron railings, although a section is missing on the northern side. These railings incorporate trefoil finials and bands of cusped motifs. The wings of the gateway end at chamfered square-plan piers, which rise to an octagonal plan above, each with a base course, frieze, cornice, and octagonal pyramid coping.
