Longueville House

Detached L-plan three-bay single-storey gate lodge, built c. 1780, with portico to front and recent two-bay hip-roofed extension to re-entrant angle at rear. Hipped slate overhanging roof with limestone ashlar chimneystack having terracotta chimney pots. Projecting eaves with carved timber brackets. Coursed sandstone rubble walls with tooled limestone quoins and plinth course. Blind round-headed windows to east elevation with brick surrounds. Tetrastyle Doric portico having triangular pediment and moulded cornice, painted timber columns with limestone plinths and set on limestone plinth. Square-headed window openings having tooled limestone sills, brick surrounds and timber sliding sash windows, nine-over-six pane to front elevation and double six-over-four pane timber sliding sash window to west elevation, and replacement timber windows elsewhere. Square-headed door opening having timber panelled double-leaf door with overlight. Decorative wrought-iron gate attached to south-west corner leading to yard to rear.

This gate lodge is notable for its cohesive and well-ordered design. The gates are well-executed and add further interest to the site. This gate lodge forms part of a significant group of related structures with the buildings of Longueville House demesne, and is similar in design to a second lodge to the west.
