What is recorded here

Detached three-bay one and a half-storey picturesque sporting lodge, built c.1850 around the fabric of an earlier dwelling. The building is rendered with overhanging eaves and decorative bargeboards. The sporting lodge comprises of a series of ‘wings’ each with its own gabled roof; there are a number of projecting square bays one of which has a balcony over and another on the first floor which is gabled and which is supported on stilts. The front door is now covered with a later glazed conservatory / porch. Window openings are flat-headed. Frames are generally mullioned and transomed with panes and these are mainly margined. The pitched roof is finished with natural slate and cast-iron rainwater goods. Chimneystacks are rendered with plain caps and very large clay pots. The sporting lodge is set at the head of a long driveway overlooking Loughbray Lower. The south front looks on to a wide paved terrace.
