What is recorded here
Detached three-bay single-storey with attic gate lodge, c.1860, on a T-plan, with porch to re-entrant corner and box bay window. Now in use as a private house. Smooth rendered walls. Timber casement windows and narrow diamond-paned fixed lights. Round-headed doorway with recessed timber panelled door. Pitched slate roof with decorative timber barge boards to gables and rendered chimney stacks. Tudor arched doorway in rendered brick wall with brick coping to side. Quadrant wall with piers and ball finial facing road. Formerly half of entrance screen, with other half now removed.
An attractive gate lodge with many original features, now more visible than before due to the demolition of a section of the entrance screen. The group is an important element of the former castle grounds, and visually enhances the streetscape.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
