Appraisal
Although modest in size this gate lodge has been constructed using the finest materials and displays skilled stone masonry in the cut limestone details. The form of this building is typical for gate lodges of this period, but the classical portico on the main elevation reflects the status of the main house. It forms an imposing entrance with the associated entrance gates.
