Detached three-bay two-storey former gate lodge, built c.1860, with porch and gable-fronted central-bay to front (west) and flat-roofed extensions to rear (east). Pitched slate roof with over hanging eaves, having carved timber bargeboards to gables, rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with limestone sills and render label mouldings, having timber-framed quarry-glazed windows. Square-headed door opening with glazed timber door to porch. Square-profile limestone piers to north, having recessed round-headed panels under hood mouldings, carved plinth flanking walls terminating in square-profile limestone piers, having cast-iron railings and gates. Set at entrance to Rockrohan House.
A notable example of a mid-nineteenth century early Victorian gate lodge displaying numerous decorative features including quarry glazed windows and decorative timber bargeboards. The high quality apparent in the gate piers, railings and gates attests to the skill of the craftsmen involved in their execution.
