What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge, built c. 1820, located to south-east of Firville House, with ruins of second gate lodge to south-west. Hipped slate roof having projecting lath and render eaves, with decoratively carved timber bargeboards. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings, boarded up, and square-headed door timber battened door. Ruins of second lodge comprise coursed rubble stone walls with piles of limestone and sandstone rubble to east and south.
This gate lodge, although now vacant, is enhanced by the retention of features and materials such as the projecting eaves with their rendered lathwork and the decorative timber bargeboards. The lodge forms part of a group of buildings associated with Firville House. The remains of the second gate lodge to the west gives an understanding of the original impact Firville House had on the landscape.
