Formerly a gatekeeper's lodge on the Witley Park Estate. 19l0 dated on rainwater
head, by Paxton Watson. Two storey cruciform building of Cotswold stone ashlar
in a restrained Jacobean style with classical touches. High pitched tiled roofs
with coped gable ends and tall ashlar chimneys. Canted bays on ends. Two and
3-light leaded casements with ovolo mullions and hoodmoulds. Game larder originally
in east leg. Half-enclosed Tuscan porch, with balustraded balcony, behind a quadrant
