Modest size, square-plan and pyramidal roof with central chimneystack are characteristic features of gate lodges of time in Ireland. Render label mouldings are also typical features and enhance the façade and further articulate the form. It retains notable features such as bipartite timber sash windows and timber panelled door. Entrance piers together with wrought-iron railings and gates, add interest and anticipation to the road.
