What is recorded here

Detached L-plan gate lodge, built c.1870. Now in use as an outbuilding. Pitched tiled roof with replacement rainwater goods, yellow brick chimneystack and decorative bargeboards. Random coursed stone walls with limestone quoins. Pointed-arched and square-headed window openings with yellow brick surrounds, limestone sills and uPVC windows. Pointed-arched door openings with yellow brick surround, timber battened door and limestone threshold. Site accessed through decorative cast-iron gates supported by limestone piers.
The use of yellow brick and stone creates textural interest in this mid nineteenth-century gate lodge. The decorative bargeboards and pointed-arched window and door openings are attractive decorative features. The adjacent entrance gates now serve a modern house known as ""Cummeen Lodge"" which was built in the grounds of Coofin House. The former gate lodge together with the entrance gates and neighbouring Coofin House are an important architectural group.

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