Central pointed arch door opening with sheeted timber door.

Appraisal
A diminutive ornamental gate lodge at the entrance to Tully House that retains much of its character and charm. The modest lodge is well proportioned having simple ornamental detail confined to the pointed door, dressed stone quoins and paired eaves brackets. The dressed stone piers and decorative cast-iron gate, together with the gate lodge, form an attractive roadside ensemble which make an eyecatching roadside addition.
