Gurteen Le Poer

Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge with dormer attic, c.1850, retaining some early fenestration with single-bay single-storey gabled advanced porch to centre. Extensively renovated, c.2000. Pitched roof (gabled to porch) with replacement artificial slate, c.2000, red clay ridge tiles, painted red brick Running bond chimney stack, decorative timber detailing to gable to porch, and replacement uPVC rainwater goods, c.2000, on timber eaves. Unpainted replacement roughcast walls, c.2000, over engaged columns to end bays, and with panelled piers to ends. Painted rendered walls to porch with roughcast panels to piers, stepped cornice, archivolt, and stepped surround to gable. Square-headed window openings (in bipartite arrangement to end bays in square-headed recesses) with stone sills, and timber casement windows. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door. Road fronted with concrete verge to front.

A well-composed gate lodge known as "Gurteen Cottage" and of distinctive appearance owing to the juxtaposition of Classical and Tudor Gothic details, which enhance the architectural quality of the site. However, while some original details and features survive intact, over-zealous renovation works have eroded much of the historic fabric and patina of the structure.
