Hidden behind trees, on the right side of the photo, stands a splendid gatehouse built around 1520. It was built by Sir John Crofts, Master of the Horse to Mary Tudor. The gatehouse has two brick built ends with polygonal turrets and the part between the ends is timber-framed with brick-nogging. The gatehouse originally crossed a moat and was detached from the original house, which little remains. This is the best view of the property from the road as it is on private land.
