Ciamaltha House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached gable-fronted L-plan single-storey gate lodge with dormer floor, built c.1880. Now disused. Canted bay windows to north and east with flagstone roofs. Pitched fish-scale slate main roof roof with dressed stone chimneystack and decorative terracotta chimney pots. Roughly-dressed coursed snecked sandstone walls with dressed sandstone quoins. Chamfered cut sandstone block-and-start surrounds to windows, and to doorway in south gable. Mainly two-light windows with canted four-light cut-stone bay window to south and rectangular three-light to north. Set behind dressed snecked sandstone quadrant walls with square-plan gate piers having plinths and pyramidal capstones and steel gates.

A well-designed gate lodge from the late nineteenth century, it was designed to be a decorative entrance to the driveway of a large country house, Ciamaltha House, and as such contribute to an understanding of social history. Its position, scale, form and materials contribute to the roadscape.
