An appealing, well appointed gate lodge which, despite additions, has been well maintained to present an early aspect and which retains important salient features and materials. Features including slate roof and overhanging eaves contribute significantly to the architectural value of the composition. The gate lodge, together with the attendant gateway presents an appealing group in the landscape, and forms an important element of the Glin Castle estate.
