Pitched slate roof with scalloped courses, terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Timber bargeboards and finials to gables and porch. Roughcast rendered walls.

Set within boundary wall with ruled-and-lined rendered piers surmounted by limestone capping stones, cast- and wrought-iron gates.
Appraisal
This gate lodge, gates, piers and wall form part of an interesting group with the former rectory. The simple architectural form of the lodge is enhanced by the retention of many original features and materials, such as the carved timber bargeboards and casement windows. Skilled craftsmanship is apparent throughout the group.
