Appraisal
This gate lodge and its associated ashlar gates are of architectural merit. Creating interest with the building's design are the cat slide roofs which slope over front and rear extensions. As part of a complex of structures, including Rathenny House and outbuildings, these structures contribute to the local architectural heritage.
