Appraisal
A delightful former gate lodge located at the western entrance to the University College Cork campus. The advanced bay, Tudor timber detailing, and sloping site combine to create a picturesque building. Historic features including tooled limestone window sills, timber windows, and red brick door surrounds add colour and textural interest.
