What is recorded here
Entrance gates to country house, erected c.1850, comprising square-plan cut limestone piers with moulded cornice and flat caps. Ornate wrought-iron piers and vehicular and pedestrian gates. Detached two-bay single-storey with attic gate lodge to north-west, with gabled porch, and with lower single-bay addition to west. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and carved timber bargeboards. Rendered walls with render quoins and square-headed replacement uPVC windows and timber door.
The fine limestone piers and wrought-iron gates, clearly executed by skilled masons and metalworkers, contribute to the setting of Brittas Castle and form part of an interesting group of related structures with the house, castle, gate lodge and outbuildings.
