Appraisal
Glanmire rectory, gate lodge, accompanying gates and post box form a pleasant grouping of socially significant buildings in the community. The attractive gate lodge retains its original character in features such as decorative ridge tiles and timber bargeboards and indicates the architectural quality of the main house beyond its gates.
