A15 The gateway is Grade II* Listed. It was built in 1775 of limestone ashlar and was possibly designed by John Carr. The last people to live here were a couple by the name of Grant in the late fifties, the living room and kitchen were on one side of the gate and the bedroom on the other. It had no electric or running water but had a well and pump in the garden.
