Ruled-and-lined chimneystacks. Random coursed limestone walls. Replacement uPVC windows with tooled stone surrounds and sills. Recessed square-headed door opening with tooled stone surround and replacement uPVC door. Roughcast rendered wall to front site with wrought-iron gates. Random rubble walls to side of house.
Appraisal
Though modest in design and small in stature, this gate lodge is enhanced by the quality of masonry exhibited in its construction. The recessed doorway is a notable feature on such a simple building. Situated across from the original entrance to the now demolished Mount Lucas House, this gate lodge is a reminder of the smaller structures associated with large demesnes.
