Gateway, built 1849, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of lichen-spotted engaged colonette-detailed sandstone ashlar panelled piers on moulded cushion courses on plinths having lichen-covered thumbnail beaded stringcourses below capping supporting cast-iron double gates with lichen-spotted engaged colonette-detailed sandstone ashlar panelled outer piers on moulded cushion courses on plinths having lichen-covered thumbnail beaded stringcourses below capping supporting cast-iron railings. Road fronted at entrance to grounds of Salterbridge House.
A gateway forming part of a self-contained group alongside an adjacent gate lodge (see 22902112) with the resulting ensemble not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at an entrance on to the grounds of the Salterbridge House estate, but also illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate by Richard Chearlney (1807-63).

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
