The Gate House

Imposing gatehouse of 2 main storeys over a tunnel archway at a point where the road is cut into the cliff. Stucco elevations with hipped slate roof, feathered at the eaves; flush lateral chimney to the NW. Flush buttressing on the SE (downhill) side gives the impression of prounounced battering to the principal (NE and SW) sides. The NE elevation has small casement windows in a scattered pattern as well as circular, shaped and rectangular lights. Rusticated arch with a large polychromed cartouche of the Prince of Wales' crest above, with Garter motto and The Prince of Wales' feathers. Above this is a circular plaque with the Welsh dragon, and directly above this is the chimney; flanking the chimney under the eaves are small casements with faux shutters, incised and painted into the flanking walls.

Similarly asymmetrical rear (SW) elevation, with a projecting balcony with Regency style canopy over the rusticated arch; small-pane glazed door. Twelve-pane sashes to the upper floors and a second, recessed balcony off-centre under the eaves, with pierced block-work balustrade and flanking caryatids. Open oculus to the tunnel on the downhill (SE) end, with simple iron-railed balcony above. This with glazed door; 12-pane sash to the upper floor.

The tunnel ceiling is decorated with a baroque-style mural.
