Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge, built c.1810, with extensions to front and rear. Hipped slate roof with terracotta and concrete ridge tiles and central rendered chimneystack. Catslide roofs to extensions. Pebbledashed walls with smooth rendered plinth. uPVC windows. Square-headed door opening to front elevation with glazed timber double doors. Four ashlar gate piers with paterae and fluting to capitals. Wrought-iron railings with to ashlar plinth walls. Wrought-iron pedestrian and vehicular gates.
This gate lodge and its associated ashlar gates are of architectural merit. Creating interest with the building's design are the cat slide roofs which slope over front and rear extensions.
