Coursed rubble limestone walls having roughly-squared block-and-start quoins. Square-headed window openings with limestone lintels, render sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening to front (east) elevation having limestone lintel and timber battened door. Roughcast rendered boundary wall with render coping to front, gateway to north-east of house comprising pair of square-plan vermiculated limestone piers having render capping and double-leaf decorative cast-iron gate.
Appraisal
This simple gate lodge forms part of a related group with the adjacent glebe house and Saint Muadain’s Church of Ireland Church. The glebe house was built in 1838, replacing an earlier building, and the gate lodge may have been built at the same time. It retains much of its form and fabric, including timber sliding sash windows which add architectural interest.
