Description
Gateway, extant 1903, on a symmetrical plan comprising pair of tuck pointed Running bond piers on moulded cushion courses on plinths having cut-granite "Cyma Recta" or "Cyma Reversa" cornices below capping supporting wrought iron double gates with paired tuck pointed Running bond outer piers on moulded cushion courses on plinths having cut-granite "Cyma Recta" or "Cyma Reversa" cornices below capping framing wrought iron gates. Road fronted on a corner site at entrance to grounds of Monart.
Appraisal
A gateway not only making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the Monart estate, but also illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate in the nineteenth century.
