Square-headed door opening, to east elevation of porch, having simple raised render reveal, timber panelled door, and limestone step. Dressed sandstone sill, with benchmark, removed from house to wall to west of building. Gateway to south, comprising double-leaf cast-iron gate having spoked finials and octagonal-plan render piers, with pointed render capping.

Appraisal
This former gate lodge retains much of its original form and forms a group with the adjacent gateway, which is enhanced by the retention of cast-iron spoked railings and dressed stone piers, and served an important role as the gate lodge and main entrance way for Cloncurrin House. The lodge and gateway form an attractive group in the landscape.
