Glencara House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached single-bay single-storey gate lodge, built c.1820. Now derelict and out of use. Pyramidal-shaped hipped natural slate roof with central ashlar limestone chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Constructed of coursed/snecked limestone. Square-headed window opening with chamfered ashlar limestone surround having remains of cast-iron multi-pane casement window, c.1900. Located to the west (across road) from attendant gateway (15401732) and to the northeast of Glencara House (15401728).

A picturesque and well-built gate lodge, which retains its early character despite its present derelict condition. The simple architectural form of this gate lodge is enhanced by fine limestone masonry and by the high quality chamfered ashlar limestone surrounds, which are very similar in form to those found on the stable block to the rear of Glencara House (15401729). This small-scale building forms an attractive pair with the attendant gateway to the west (15401732) and remains part of an interesting collection of related structures associated with Glencara House (15401728).
