Gatehouse now house. Probably mid - late C17, altered C19 and C20. Coursed squared
stone, stone slate roof. 2 storeys, formerly having tall ground floor (shortened
by raised road level and converted to contain basement); one bay, with single-storey
½-bay on right heightened. Road (north) front: ½-bay has door. Main bay has round
arched gateway, chamfered with moulded voussoirs and imposts, now blocked and with
mullion window. Above it a moulded cornice on leaf-decorated corbels, breaking
forward at ends and centre and having frieze with carved-face keystone. On first
floor a double-chamfered window (formerly of 4 or 5 lights) with one mullion and
dripmould with decorative stops. Shaped gutter brackets. Roof hipped, with corner
blocks for ball finials (removed) and central, C17, shaped finial. Rear: plinth.
Tall round-arched gateway has moulded surround, wave-moulded at base on plinths,
and imposts; infilled and now with C20 basement window under 3-light flat-faced
mullion window. Cornice over gateway as front. On first floor a 4-light, now 2-

Hall (demolished) built by Samuel King of King Cross. The cornices over the gateways
are similar in style to those above fireplaces of other houses in the area eg that
in Nos 43-47 Hollins Lane (qv) dated 1688.
