gate lodge

Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge originally serving Carrownaff Lodge (house demolished), built c. 1860, with advanced gabled bay with attic, and single-storey lean-to extension to rear. Pitched slate roofs with overhanging eaves on paired timber brackets and with ornate timber bargeboards and pendant and finials to gables; smooth rendered central chimneystack with stepped coping and painted terracotta pots; replacement rainwater-goods; lean-to fibre-cement tiled roof to extension. Smooth rendered walls with articulated block-and-start quoins. Square-headed window openings with stucco hoodmouldings, uPVC windows and painted rendered sills. Square-headed door opening with replacement door.

One of a pair of attractive gate lodges to the now demolished Carrownaff Lodge, very much typical of its type, embracing all the eclecticism of the Victorian gate lodge style. Despite the loss of its original fenestration it has retained its architectural form, character and detailing, in particular the ornate timber bargeboards and the hoodmouldings over the windows. It forms part of a group of estate structures including an identical gate lodge (see 40902124) and walled garden (see 40902125), and is an integral element of the built heritage of the local area.
