This is the former Pink Lodge Gatehouse.

One of the 2 gatehouses which were strategically positioned on Earls Drive, the main thoroughfare through the estate.
(The second gatehouse is now Rambler's Retreat.)

The gatekeepers would keep a watch for the Earl's carriage from the tower to ensure that gates were opened promptly.

Hiking

Pink Lodge, 400m north of Station Lodge on the west side of Farley Lane, is a substantial mid C19 brick building, slightly Italianate in style and with two projecting towers as its most prominent elements. It stands at the entrance to Barbary Gutter, apparently a westward extension of the grounds.
