Ballyarthur House, gate lodge in County Wicklow

What is recorded here

Detached three-bay one and a half-storey gate lodge, built c.1840. The gate lodge is constructed in rubble fieldstone. The large ground floor window has Gothic tracery and is set within a large Tudor-arched recess, while those to the first floor are lancets. The pitched roof is finished with natural slate. It is set close to a roadside beside a large segmental-arched gate with octagonal tower and castellated parapet with machicolations.

This small gate lodge has retained its original front, which matches the adjoining gate. Combined, the pair present a striking and memorable, romantic ensemble.
