Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge to Modreeny, built c.1850, having pedimented entrance portico. Hipped slate roof with cut-stone chimneystack. Dressed limestone walls with ashlar limestone portico in antis. Timber margined mullioned casement windows with replacement uPVC windows to west elevation. Timber panelled doors. Quadrant gateway with ornamental cast-iron gates flanked by railings on cut-stone plinth.
This impressive classical gate lodge is likely to have replaced a simpler Georgian lodge and to date from the extension of the existing house at Modreeny carried out in the mid-nineteenth century. The ashlar stonework of the breakfront is of a high standard and the original character of the building remains, despite the replacement of several windows with uPVC.
