What is recorded here

Detached single-bay (single- or two-bay deep) single-storey gable-fronted gate lodge with half-dormer attic, extant 1840, on a rectangular plan. Now disused. Pitched (gable-fronted) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, creeper- or ivy-covered chimney stack (south) having stepped capping, and no rainwater goods surviving on rendered slate flagged eaves. Part creeper- or ivy-covered fine roughcast walls. Square-headed central door opening behind distyle "in antis" portico with creeper- or ivy-entangled pillars on overgrown plinth supporting timber beam lintel, and concealed dressings framing timber panelled door. "Lunette" window opening to gable with concealed dressings framing remains of timber fitting. Square-headed window openings to side elevations with cut-granite sills, and concealed dressings with fittings now boarded-up. Set back from line of road at entrance to grounds of Movilla House.

A gate lodge contributing positively to the group and setting values of the Movilla House estate with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the restrained ""in antis"" portico; and the high pitched gabled roofline.
