Window openings are also flat-headed and have replacement multiple pane timber casement frames. The pitched roof has wide overhanging eaves.

Appraisal
This gate lodge, now known as "Kilmacurragh Lodge", is in original condition and has a pleasing simplicity. It is valuable in its own right but, added to the main house, also has a strong group value.
