Cooleville House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey former gate lodge, built c. 1805, with flat-roofed extension to rear and west gable. Now in use as house. Pitched reed thatched roof with slightly raised ridge and brick chimneystack. Painted rendered walls having square-headed openings with replacement timber windows. Timber matchboard door with limestone threshold. Curving coursed roughly-dressed limestone walls to entrance gateway with cut limestone coping, dressed limestone piers with cut limestone capstones with ball finials. Square-headed pedestrian entrance. Replacement timber gates.

Built by the Grubb family, this structures forms part of a group of buildings within the Coolville demesne. The lodge and gateway occupy a prominent position on the main entrance to the town. The gate lodge is unusual in style and forms an interesting contrast with the grander walls and piers of the entrance.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
