Appraisal
This former gate lodge is enhanced by the retention of notable features such as the timber battened door, fine entrance gates and limestone label-mouldings. The masonry that makes up the fabric of the building was clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. The house forms part of a group of interesting demesne structures formerly related to Barnane House.
