Ballygally House — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey gable-fronted gate lodge, extant 1841, on a rectangular plan. Now disused. Pitched (gable-fronted) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, and no rainwater goods surviving on exposed timber rafters. Coursed stone walls retaining sections of lime rendered surface finish with part creeper- or ivy-covered limestone ashlar piers to corners. Square-headed central door opening in square-headed recess with concealed dressings framing timber boarded door. Square-headed flanking window openings with sills, and concealed red brick block-and-start surrounds framing timber casement windows having lattice glazing bars. Set back from line of road at entrance to grounds of Ballygally House.

A gate lodge forming part of a self-contained group alongside an adjacent gateway (see 229020--) with the resulting ensemble making a pleasing, if increasingly forlorn visual statement in a sylvan street scene at the entrance on to the grounds of the Ballygally House estate.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
