Pedestrian gate to east side of building has ashlar limestone piers with chamfered corners and plinths and coursed pyramidal caps with moulded string courses, set into wall that is ashlar to west and coursed rubble to east side.

Appraisal
This gate lodge displays many features of the Tudor Revival, such as gabled bays, label-mouldings and various blind openings. It forms a decorative introduction to Lenaboy Castle.
