This house makes a notable and positive contribution to the surrounding area. Set perpendicular to the road, it once served as a gate lodge to Fosterstown House. The form and scale of the building are representative of the vernacular tradition in Ireland - unusual as a gate lodge to a demesne. The two windows on the south elevation are the only windows in the house.
