The Gate House is officially recorded on the national heritage register as a Grade II* Listed building, recognized for its architectural and historic importance.
The original structure dates from around the late 18th century, built in red brick over earlier stonework — though elements of early 17th-century stone remain at the rear, including original mullioned windows. Its distinctive period character is visible in its classical three-bay façade, sash windows in moulded architraves, rusticated porch with Roman arch, pilasters and hood cornice, quoins, parapet and slated roof — all hallmarks of its heritage.
Over decades, the house has retained the grandeur and elegance of its origins — tall ceilings, deep skirting boards, and a sense of proportion and history — while being sensitively improved for modern living. The result is a rare opportunity: a listed building with living history, but with the flexibility and comfort of a contemporary home.
