Description
Quadrant entrance gates to small country house, erected c.1860, comprising ornate cast-iron piers to vehicular entrance, with cast-iron gates and railings with cut limestone plinths. Detached derelict three-bay single-storey gate lodge inside gates, with lean-to rear addition, hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack and remains of decorative timber fascia, and with ruled-and-lined rendered walls and timber sliding sash windows with panelled shutters.
Appraisal
The fine cast-ironwork of these entrance gates make a notable contribution to the locality. It forms an interesting group together with the gate lodge and Liskeveen House and its outbuildings. The gate lodge, although derelict, retains much of its original fabric.
