Levington Park

Pair of matching two-storey gate lodges, built c.1810, flanking main entrance gates (15401912) to the Levington Park Demesne. Pitched natural slate roofs having moulded brick chimneystacks (one to each structure), cast-iron rainwater goods and timber bargeboards to gable ends. Rubble limestone construction retaining sections of lime render over. Square-headed window openings having cut stone sills and six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows. Two-over-two pane timber sliding sash window to gate lodge to west at first floor level having elliptical-headed glazing bars. Loop hole openings to attic levels. Both structures back onto road and front into the demesne (north). Located to the northwest of Mullingar.

An unusually large pair of gate lodges, associated with Levington Park (15401910), which retain their early form and character. These lodges retain their early fabric, including timber sash windows, decorative timber bargeboards and timber sliding sash windows. The timber bargeboards and the moulded brick chimneystacks, suggests that these structures date to the early nineteenth-century remodelling of the main house. The timber sliding sash window with the elliptical-headed glazing bars is very similar to those found to the attic level of Levington Park itself. These lodges form part of an important group of demesne-related structures associated with Levington Park House and add substantially to the historic character of the landscape to the northwest of Mullingar Town.
