What is recorded here
Detached four-bay single-storey with attic former gate lodge, built c.18i5, now in use as a private dwelling. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, timber finials and decorative bargeboards. Pebbledashed walls with rendered buttresses to rear elevation and cast-iron colonnettes to front elevation. Paired timber sash windows with stone sills. Timber battened doors. Hexagonal stone gate piers and wrought-iron rails to front of site.
The modest form and scale of this former gate lodge is enlivened by the understated decorative detailing such as the buttresses, cast-iron colonnettes and diminutive windows. The gate lodge forms part of a group with the demesne-related structures of Killegar House. The gate piers and railings adjacent to the gate lodge are the main entrance to Killegar House. The gates to Killegar Church of Ireland church are located directly opposite the gates to Killegar House.
