Square-headed window openings with tooled limestone and render sills elsewhere. Bipartite timber-framed windows to front and side (south-east) elevations, having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows.

A charming gate lodge forming an integral part of the demesne associated with Oaklands. Typical of many gate lodges, its design and form is uncomplicated, thought the central pointed window opening coupled with bipartite sash windows make a picturesque facade. The steeply pitched roof allows for upper floor accommodation, while maintaining a small scale.
