Killakee House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey former gate lodge, c.1850, on a square-plan with three chamfered corners. Now in use as a private house. Smooth rendered walls. Replacement leaded timber casement windows. Canted bay window to south front. Entrance in flat-roofed projection to east. Hipped slate roof with central rendered chimney stack and wide projecting eaves, supported at each chamfered corner by a column, Greek Doric, to the principal elevation. Ornate painted cast- and wrought-iron railings and gate posts with beehive finials at entrance.

This picturesque lodge was formerly an entrance to Killakee House. It stands set-back from a very busy country road, and is thus easily missed. Once in the garden, however, its original proportions and classical serenity may be fully appreciated.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
