Detached four-bay single-storey gate lodge, c.1905. Roughcast rendered walls with replacement uPVC windows having diamond pattern lights. Pitched slate roof with central band of scalloped slates, perforated cresting and red brick chimney stacks. Timber bargeboards to front gable end. Single-storey extension to north.
This house is set in picturesque surroundings and retains many original features and proportions. An important reminder, with the entrance screen, of the former Avondale estate. Stylistically similar to other buildings along this northern side of the old Lucan Road.
