Appraisal
This lodge is notable for its cohesive and well-executed design. It is enhanced by its porticoed entrance and forms part of a significant group of related structures with the buildings of Longueville House demesne, and is of similar design to the gate lodge to the east, particularly through the presence of a portico.
