Johnstown House

Ashlar limestone gateway, erected c.1780, formerly leading to Johnstown House, latter now demolished. Comprises central vehicular arch flanked by pedestrian entrances, all with pilasters, archivolts with keystones and with paterae to spandrels of central arch. Cast-iron gates and low rubble flanking walls. Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge to north, built c.1780, now in use as shop. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, rendered walls with moulded eaves course, and having rounded corners to east gable with wheel-guard. Double one-over-one pane timber casement windows with stone sills and with timber battened half-door.

This finely-crafted and well-designed gateway and its lodge once served Johnstown House which lay to the northwest and is a reminder of the quality of the now-demolished country house. It forms a group of interesting structures and is a notable feature at the junction of three roads.
