Circa 1820. 2-storey castellated-gothic revival gate lodge at north entrance to Bowland Estate comprising square-plan lodge with adjoining Tudor-arched vehicle and pedestrian gateways to right and octagonal turret to far right. Coursed black whinstone with pale sandstone ashlar dressings, some broached. Base course; first-floor cill course; corbelled and machicolated parapet. Curved parapet wall to left.
Timber-mullioned, hoodmoulded Tudor windows to lodge; slit windows to turret (predominantly blind). Diamond-paned leaded casement windows. Identical front and rear elevations. Flat-roofed single-storey extension to S (side) elevation.
Swept, spear-headed iron gates with trefoil pattern and pointed-arch forms and pinecone finials.
B-group with 'Bowland House Including Garden Cottages, Walled Garden and Garage Block' (see separate listing).
This is a striking and well-detailed example of an early 19th century Castellated-Gothic Revival gate lodge with a commanding presence at the entrance to the Bowland Estate. It is possible that eminent architect James Gillespie Graham had a hand in the design of the gate lodge, as the treatment closely resembles his work at the main house, carried out around the same time.
