Windows openings with smooth render channel-jointed surrounds below hood mouldings and cut stone sills.

Set back from road with replacement gate, demesne entrance leading north-west from lodge.
Appraisal
An unassuming gate lodge set at the south-eastern entrance to Killegar House, of modest appearance reflecting its status as a secondary gate lodge for the demesne. It retains salient features and materials including slate roof and picturesque lattice windows with unusual channelled surrounds. It forms part of a group of demesne structures of Killegar House which also includes ruinous outbuildings and the gate lodge at the main entrance.
