What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge, c.1850, with recessed façade. Now disused. Hipped slate roof with clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stack, and cast-iron rainwater goods on slightly overhanging rendered eaves. Painted rendered walls with painted rendered advanced piers to ends framing recessed façade. Square-headed window openings with no sills, and timber casement windows having lattice glazing. Square-headed door opening behind pair of cut-limestone Doric columns with glazed timber panelled double doors having lattice glazing. Set back from road in own grounds.
A small-scale Classically-detailed gate lodge exhibiting characteristics reminiscent of the Regency period earlier in the century. Forming a neat self-contained ensemble with an associated gateway (12402728/KK-27-28) the gate lodge makes a pleasing visual statement opposite the entrance to the grounds of Ballaghtobin.
