Description
Detached single-storey gate lodge, built c.1790, comprising three gable-fronted blocks, with projecting end blocks. Pitched slate roofs, with rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls. Timber sliding sash two-over-two pane windows and with timber battened door to central block, flanked by windows. Rendered wall to boundary.
Appraisal
Gate lodge for Castletown having a very unusual form with each block comprising one room and linked only at the corners. Now in poor condition due to long-term disuse and lack of maintenance, the building is nevertheless of much architectural interest.
