What is recorded here
Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge to Donard House, built c.1855. The façade is finished in painted roughcast whilst the hipped roof is covered in artificial slate and has a central brick chimneystack. The entrance consists of a timber tongue and groove double door and the flat-headed windows have replacement metal frames. Replacement metal rainwater goods. The lodge is set at the main (south-west entrance) to the Donard House demesne, with a relatively simple gate screen to the south side of the building consisting of a low rock-faced wall, similar piers and cast-iron railings and carriage gates.
Although some of its fabric has been unsympathetically altered, the presence of this mid 19th-century gate lodge (and the accompanying gate screen) close to the centre of the village adds interest to the streetscape.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
