Pitched slate roofs with limestone chimneystack having beaded cornice. Painted timber bargeboards. Snecked limestone walls with tooled quoins. Segmental-headed window openings with tooled limestone sills, tooled surrounds and replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed window openings to addition with tooled limestone sills, tooled surrounds and replacement uPVC windows. Segmental-headed door opening with tooled limestone chamfered surround and timber panelled door.
An attractive gate lodge which forms a fitting introduction to the Gothic architecture of the college beyond. The building is architecturally interesting in its own right and retains a strong character, with interesting features including tooled window and door surrounds.
