Detached gate lodge, built c. 1815, comprising circular-plan two-stage tower, facing north, with two-bay single-storey wing attached to rear, built c. 1815. Painted rendered castellated parapet to tower with continuous corbel table, and pitched artificial slate roof to addition. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered plinth. Pointed arch window openings to tower, having limestone sills and hood-mouldings, with replacement timber windows. Pointed arched door opening moulded limestone surround and hood-moulding and replacment glazed timber door. Square-headed window openings to addition having replacement timber fittings.
This unusual demesne gate lodge forms a quirky introduction to the presence of the country house beyond. The building takes the form of a diminutive round medieval donjon and is enhanced by its pointed arch openings, with good quality limestone details.
