Cadw's description
Location
To the S of the House, at the end of the formal, yew-hedged lawn.
Exterior
A pair of C18 wrought iron gates with flanking stone gate-piers, opposite the garden entrance in the S elevation of the house and completing the vista from it. Subtle scrolled decoration to the central and outer sections of the gates. Moulded plinths and plain cornices to the gate piers with shaped urn finials. Stepped access down into a field to the rear, and adjoining a ha-ha.
Reason for designation
Included as a fine example of a set of vista gates in an historic garden context.
