Description
Two-bay single-storey gate lodge, built c. 1840, with canted north, roadside, elevation projecting from boundary wall. Now private house. Addition to west side. Hipped slate roof to main block, spired to canted bay, with rendered chimneystack, limestone eaves course and recent galvanized rainwater goods, and having slate roof to addition, pitched to north and hipped to south. Painted lined-and-ruled rendered walls with render quoins. Pointed arch window openings to front and road elevations, with timber sash windows, comprising intersecting glazing to top sashes and six-pane lower sashes. Square-headed timber windows elsewhere. Pointed arch door opening having timber battened door approached by limestone steps.
Appraisal
The well maintained lodge with its ornamental north elevation gives the entrance an air of distinction and provides a suitable formal entrance to Kilbrack House to south.
