What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey former gate lodge, built c. 1800, having pedimented breakfront to front (east) elevation. Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks, limestone copings and eaves course. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window opening with limestone sill, now blocked up. Square-headed door openings, now blocked up. Cut limestone Doric columns to breakfront. Rendered sweeping walls to site with cut limestone copings terminating in pair of square-profile ashlar limestone piers to north and south.

This well designed and detailed building is a fine example of a classically inspired gate lodge. Its Doric breakfront reflects the status of the former main house Ballywilliam, whilst the adjoining walls enhance the composition of the piece. The building retains key features such as the carved limestone eaves course, pediment and columns, which are indicative of skilled craftsmanship befitting the status of the building.
