Appraisal
This modestly sized gate lodge is of apparent architectural design and makes use of classical decorative elements such as the render pilasters and pediments. Its façade is enlivened by features such as the render surrounds and by the bay window. Its site is enhanced by the surrounding cast-iron railings and gate.
