Description
The Gatehouse is a single-storey lodge-cottage built in a double-pile plan form. It is constructed of rendered brick and features a 20th-century hipped slate roof with slightly oversailing eaves, along with a broad central stack made of brown brick. The front of the building is asymmetrical with three bays, including a cambered entrance on the left side that has a recessed modern wooden door. To the right of the entrance, there is a canted wooden bay window with a slated roof, which contains two-light iron-framed lattice-glazed windows with simple cusped tracery heads and projecting stone sills. There is a three-light window with similar glazing to the right, and an additional two-light window on the north return wall. On the south side, there is a single-storey catslide extension, partly featuring a flat felt roof. Adjacent to the cottage on the southwest side, there is a rendered rubble wall that follows the line of the road for about 10 meters and has irregular copings. The interior was not inspected during the survey.
