One of the first things I said the day we arrived was "this gate is going to have to go" and it is now gone (well its in the shed). The original gateway to the property was clearly designed for horse and cart rather than car and was a definite hazard to wing mirrors (at least when I was the one reversing). On a more practical note, delivery lorries couldn't get in. So widening the gateway (by over 3ft), knocking down the huge concrete gate posts and putting in a new gate became a high priority on our "things to do when you can't stand to do anymore thatch" list. We also had to top the side walls to make them dog proof, so we decided we may as well tidy up the whole thing. I finished painting the wall yesterday.
