Place & story

A restored gate lodge

The gate lodge at Turlough Park was standing by 1895. Its single-storey rooms form a T-shaped plan around a projecting gabled porch. Rock-faced limestone walls, stone window surrounds and a central chimney give the building a compact, solid appearance. The architectural inventory records restoration in 1999 for a different use, including replacement sash windows and entrance joinery. Iron estate railings enclose its roadside setting. [2]
