Appraisal
This delightful late nineteenth century gate lodge, designed by Sir Thomas Newenham Deane, has maintained its original form and historic character. An unusual projecting canted bay and elaborate roof line make this building an attractive feature in the surrounding landscape. A fine stone boundary wall and piers mirror those of the main gateway to Lisselan House.
