Appraisal
This gate lodge, although now vacant, is enhanced by the retention of features and materials such as the projecting eaves with their rendered lathwork and the decorative timber bargeboards. The lodge forms part of a group of buildings associated with Firville House. The remains of the second gate lodge to the west gives an understanding of the original impact Firville House had on the landscape.
