Appraisal
This design of this gate lodge is articulated by its cut stone dressings, quoins and niche. The roof is an interesting feature with its oversailing eaves. Situated within the grounds of Abbey View House, it occupies a pleasing site and creates a distinguished entrance to the main house. This gate lodge together with the main house, the outbuildings and the entrance gates forms an interesting architectural group.
