A small-scale early nineteenth-century gate lodge and entrance gates, originally serving Belville House, which retain much of their early character and form. The lodge itself is distinguished by the open veranda to the entrance front and by the retention of the round-headed sash windows. The gates to the north, which retain early wrought-iron gates and railings adds to the setting and is an attractive element in the rural landscape to the west of Mount Temple.
