Gatepiers

The gatepiers and gate lodge were designed by Andrew Balfour and Henry Bell Wesley Steele in the late 19th century. This two-storey, L-plan gate lodge features Jacobean gables, an ogee-domed entrance tower at the re-entrant angle, and overhanging eaves. It is constructed from stugged, squared, and snecked pale sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, and includes a base course and moulded cornices.

On the east elevation, there is a canted, quadripartite window on the ground floor and a bipartite window above with a moulded cill. The stepped Jacobean gable is adorned with pyramid obelisk finials and scrolls, and the entrance tower to the right has a moulded surround. The south (rear) elevation features a Venetian window on the first floor with a tall wallhead stack to the right. There is a single-storey, flat-roofed addition on the west elevation made of squared and snecked rubble, with a stepped pedimented dormer above that has a ball finial breaking the eaves, and a tall, shouldered stack to the left. The north elevation includes a tripartite, segmental-arched window.

The windows are predominantly timber sash and case with 2-pane glazing, and there are cast iron rainwater goods. Inside, there is a turned hardwood stair with an elaborate newel post and sweeping rail, along with timber panelled doors.

The gatepiers and quadrant walls consist of four large square piers topped with pyramid obelisks supported by stone balls at the corners. The pierced quadrant walls flank the gate, which features electronically operated cast-iron gates that were added in the early 21st century.
