Portnard House

Detached three-bay single-storey with attic storey former gate lodge, built c. 1850, with flat-roofed extension to rear (east) elevation and lean-to extension to south elevation. Now in use as house. Pitched slate roof with red brick chimneystack, cast-iron rainwater goods and timber bargeboards to gables. Rubble limestone walls with dressed quoins. Square-headed openings with render block-and-start surrounds having timber casement windows and limestone sills. Square-headed opening with render surround to double-leaf timber panelled door, having timber canopy above with render brackets supported on cut limestone corbels. Outbuilding to south of site with pitched slate roof and rubble limestone walls.

The simple form of this gate lodge exhibits attention to architectural design and detailing. The façade of the building is enlivened by features such as the timber casement windows, double-leaf door under canopy and bargeboards. The lodge forms part of a larger group of related structures with Portnard House and outbuildings.
