Appraisal
Ornate former gate lodge, which once formed part of the Carrig House estate. The Classical language of the building mirrors that of Carrig House, however, it is distinguished by unusual features such as the decorative chimneystack, and the limestone plinth course with cast-iron railings, which form an integral part of the building.
