Description
Detached two-bay single-storey former gate lodge to Talbotstown House, built c.1840. The gate lodge is L-shaped in plan with painted roughcast walls and a slated hipped roof with large overhang supported on timber brackets, and rendered chimneystacks. The entrance consists of a timber door and the flat-headed windows have replacement top-hung timber frames. Cast-iron rainwater goods. The gate lodge is set next to a roadside but is separated from the road by a garden enclosed by a tall rendered wall.
Appraisal
Delightfully unpretentious gate lodge of the early to mid 1800s, which, replacement window frames notwithstanding, is still in largely original condition.
