Appraisal
This fine gateway to Noan House is a decorative and well-executed feature along the roadside. The simple form of the gate lodge reflects the quality of architecture of the main house. Together with the country house and its outbuildings this gateway and gate lodge form an interesting architectural and demesne-related group.
