What is recorded here
Detached circular-plan two-storey gate lodge, built c.1880, having single-bay single-storey projection to rear (east). Now ruinous. Rendered chimneystack, roof now missing. Roughcast rendered walls. Pointed arch window openings with rendered sills, having remains of two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening with raised render surround surmounted by lead-clad canopy.
This unusual gate lodge with its interesting form provides an unusual introduction to Rochestown Wood House. Taking the form of a miniature tower, its relatively simple façade is greatly enhanced by its pointed arch window openings.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
