This former gate lodge, once part of Bruree House demesne, exhibits a variety of artistic detailing and makes a notable contribution to the roadscape. It was built on the site of a previous gate lodge. The lodge is enlivened by notable architectural detailing apparent in features such as the verandah with decorative columns and the differing window types, which enhance the façade while contributing to its visual appeal.
