Read the whole record

Detached three-bay single-storey former gate lodge to Tynte Park, built c.1850, and now in use as a private home. The building is constructed in rubble with the central bay to the front, edge pilasters and dressings in brick, a rendered base course and bracketed stone eaves course. The pitched roof is slated and has rendered chimneystacks and Velux windows. The entrance, which is set within a recessed bay flanked by large gabled bays, consists of a panelled timber door and semi-circular fanlight. The windows are flat-headed and have replacement timber frames. Above the windows there is a curious stone hood. Replacement metal rainwater goods. Tall rendered walls extended to the rear of the building, presumably enclosing a yard. The property is set on a roadside (opposite one of the gateways to Tynte Park) and has a small garden in front enclosed by a low rubble wall and iron railings.

A neat and largely well preserved mid nineteenth-century gate lodge known as ""Toberbeg Lodge"" with walls in an unusual combination of rubble and brick with dressed stone detailing.
