Appraisal
This handsome gate lodge has been well maintained. It retains its original door and window hoodmouldings and surrounds, as well as its punch dressed stone walls. This cottage is located by the entranceway to Charleville Demesne, standing sentry like by impressive elaborately tooled stone gate piers, as a reminder of its original function.
