Appraisal
Well-composed former gate lodge distinguished by its projecting gables. It retains salient materials such as the slate roof and render hood mouldings, and makes an interesting roadside feature. Though now disjointed from its original context by recent residential development, it forms a group of with Merton House and outbuildings, located to the south-east.
