Detached three-bay single-storey house with attic, built c.1860, with gable porch to front and recent flat-roof extensions to rear. Pitched slate roof with brick chimneystack, rooflight, cast-iron rainwater goods and projecting eaves and barges. Painted roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed timber sliding sash windows, tripartite to front elevation, and two-over-two pane to side walls of porch and to first floor of gables, all with painted sills. Square-headed door opening with raised render surround and timber panelled door, below oversailing roof with four-centred-arch detail. Timber gate to garden to front of house. Pointed arch entrance gateway to north, with dressed sandstone walls, voussoirs and crenellations, recapped c.2000, and having double-leaf wrought-iron gate.

The simple form of this gate lodge is enhanced by the retention of its timber sash windows and porch with oversailing roof. The entrance gateway immediately to the north mirrors that of the church entrance opposite. The lodge and gateway were built as part of a private walkway for the Bagwell family of Marlfield House and form part of a group of related structures associated with the demesne.
