EXTERIOR: Gateway has raised central gable with shouldered sides, continued to right to small square store with flat roof at coping level, moulded arches with drip course are carried on paired octagonal shafts with capitals, mouldings of which are carried across as cornice to blocking course on either side, returned as string to lodge. Transverse barrel vault to centre, flat ceilings to pedestrian arches, and original embellished iron gates, with runners to central pair, remain. Small store has rectangular light front and rear. Lodge in two storeys, brought forward as octagonal bay with steep hipped roof on street front, with segmental pointed light in oriel with stone roof, on brackets, with small lights to splay faces at ground floor. Other fronts have face gablet. To left boundary wall ramped down to cover lean-to unit behind, two octagonal ashlar stacks with heavy cappings, and central oriel as front.
