Detached T-plan four-bay single-storey gate lodge, built c.1865, with projecting porch and having pitched and recent flat-roofed extensions to rear. Now in use as private house. Pitched slate roofs having dressed limestone chimneystacks, ornate timber cladding to gables, decoratively-carved timber bargeboards and cast-iron ridge crestings. Roughly-dressed limestone walls with dressed stone quoins. Chamfered mullioned windows with cut limestone surrounds, label-mouldings and wrought-iron grills to leaded glazing. Bay window to southeast gable with slate roof. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door under hipped slate verandah supported on chamfered timber posts. Snecked rock-faced limestone boundary wall with dressed coping. Adjoins gates to Killoskehan Castle.
This picturesque gate lodge retains many original features which enhance its form and structure, such as the decorative timber cladding and bargeboards to the gables and the mullioned windows. The gate lodge, in conjunction with the highly ornate cast-iron gates, and Killoskehan Castle form an interesting group of demesne structures.
