Description
Lynch Lodge is a lodge located at the entrance to a park, built in 1864. It features coursed rubble stone walls and a stone slate roof with coped gables and a stone eaves cornice, along with stone stacks on the ridge. The building has a cruciform plan and is designed in the Gothic Revival style, consisting of a single storey. There is a 20th-century single-storey flat-roofed addition at the rear.
On the main elevation, there is a central gabled projection that includes a canted bay window with stone mullions and a transom, topped with a half-pyramidal stone roof and a battlemented cornice. Above this is a datestone. To the right of the gable, there is a segmental pointed arch with a ledged door, and to the left, there is one sash window. The overall appearance is picturesque.
