What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge in neo-Georgian style, built c.1950. To the rear is a large single-storey extension of c.1985. The original portion of the gate lodge is in rubble with granite quoins and brick dressings, whilst the extension is finished in painted render. The slated hipped roof of the original section has an overhang supported on brackets, and rendered chimneystacks. The extension has a similar roof, however it is covered in artificial slates and does not have brackets or chimneystacks. The entrance consists of a panelled timber door set under a timber Doric portico with pediment. The windows are flat-headed and have six over six timber sash frames, with top-hung timber frames to those to the extension. Metal rainwater goods. The gate lodge is set at the side of the main drive to Avonmore House.
Later extension notwithstanding, this gate lodge is a fine example of neo-Georgian architecture on a smaller scale.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
