Appraisal
This former gate lodge is of architectural design and detailing and is a picturesque addition to the surrounding landscape. Attention to detailing is displayed in the execution of fine craftsmanship applied to the window and door surrounds. Its recent restoration works have been carried out in a sympathetic manner and enhance the preservation and appearance of the building. Originally a gate lodge it forms part of a greater group of structures associated with Castle Oliver.
