Appraisal
An elegantly-proportioned small-scale gate lodge that retains most of its original form and early character. The gate lodge is of particular importance as a reminder of the extent of the Clashmore House estate, and the various ancillary buildings commissioned in the development of that demesne. Now in private residential use, the gate lodge has been well maintained, presenting an attractive feature of historic quality in the locality.
