Appraisal
This gate lodge, typical in its modest scale and design, is situated at the entrance to Anaverna House located to the south-east. The building's most notable feature the gable-fronted entrance porch. The simplicity of its design is highlighted by the timber bargeboards and hood-moulding over the entrance door. The building stands as a reminder of a bygone era and is of importance to the built heritage of the area.
