What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey former gate lodge, built c.1830, with gable-fronted porches to front (north) and rear (south) and single-bay extension to side (west). Now in use as private house. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystack and uPVC rainwater goods. Exposed rubble sandstone walls with yellow brick quoins. Square-headed window openings with limestone sills and replacement timber casement windows throughout. Square-headed door openings with double-leaf timber panelled door to front elevation and glazed timber door to rear elevation. Quadrant square-profile tapering tooled limestone piers to east, with wrought-iron vehicular gates flanked by pedestrian entrances, set within wrought-iron railings on limestone plinth walls, and terminating in square-profile limestone piers. Located at entrance to Ardnalee House.

Built by the Morgan family in the 1830, the simple design and detailing of the lodge contrasts with the ornate detailing displayed in the entrance gates. The entrance exhibit a high level of craftsmanship, with its fine wrought-iron gates and railings and expertly tooled piers. Together, lodge and entrance form an imposing group, which gives some indication of the scale and grandeur of the house within.
