What is recorded here
Detached gable-fronted three-bay two-storey over basement gate lodge, date 1837, having three-storey elevation to rear (south). Single-storey extensions to side (west) elevation. Now ruinous. Roof now missing, having tooled limestone gable copings with carved limestone finials, inscribed date to front (north) finial. Rendered walls with oriel to front and side (east) elevations and exposed rubble stone walls to extension. Square-headed window openings with stone sills and remains of timber frames to some openings. Square-headed door opening to front elevation, now blocked. Single-span rubble stone bridge to east of site, having segmental-headed arch with dressed voussoirs and prominent keystone. Located at entrance to Bellmount House.
Although now in a state of ruin, this fine gate lodge is still highly visible and impressive. Its Gothic-Revival character is apparent in the oriel windows and carved finials. It adds to the setting and context of Bellmount House and is an attractive roadside feature.
