Knocknagappul House

Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge, built c.1820, later altered and now two-storey. Pitched slate roof with roughcast rendered chimneystacks and replacement uPVC rainwater goods. Rendered walls to ground floors of front (east) and rear (west) elevations, roughcast rendered walls elsewhere. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills to front elevation, having three-over-three-pane timber sliding sash windows to first floor openings. Bipartite two-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows with render label mouldings to ground floor. Square-headed door opening with render label moulding and double-leaf timber battened door to front elevation. Recessed square-headed door opening to rear (west) elevation, having glazed timber door. Roughcast rendered enclosing wall with rendered coping to front, having square-profile gate piers with rendered capping and wrought-iron gate.

Set at the entrance to Knocknagappul House, this gate lodge makes an eye-catching roadside addition. Though altered by the later addition of a second storey, the original form remains discernible. The label moulding motif is also found on the main house and provides the pair with a stylistic link. It retains much of its original joinery intact.
