What is recorded here
Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge to Cangort House, built c.1870, with modern extension to rear. Located in a wooded area in the former demesne. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack and decorative bargeboards. Rendered walls with limestone corbelled eaves course. Pointed-arched window openings with decorative tooled limestone surrounds comprising limestone transom, sill and hoodmoulding with fanlight and timber casement window. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled and glazed door.
A gate lodge whose form, scale and decorative treatment make its original function immediately recognisable. The pointed-arched window opening with particularly fine tooled limestone surrounds and hoodmoulding contribute to the significance of the structure. This gate lodge together with the Cangort House and ancillary structures form an interesting group of related demesne structures.
