Appraisal
Although currently unoccupied, this gate lodge continues to form an appealing appendage to Kildemook House. Its appearance is greatly enhanced by the pointed arched detailing of the doors and windows and many of its salient features are retained. It enhances the entrance to Kildemook estate and the local landscape.
