Statement of Interest

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.
