West Gate Lodge, Ballywalter Park, 124 Greyabbey Road, Ballyatwood, Ballywalter, Newtownards, BT22 2NZ, Co. Down

Irregular single storey neo-classical sandstone and stucco gate lodge of c.1900 by William J. Fennell, at the west entrance of Ballywalter Park. The lodge is set on the east side of Greyabbey Road, roughly one mile SW of Ballywalter. This lodge was described by Alistair Rowan in 1967 as ‘on an L plan each arm of which is gabled with a mutule pediment containing the Mulholland coat-of-arms and their motto 'SEMPER PRAECINCTUS'. To each apex an acroterion moulding. On the road [W] elevation a canted bay window surveys the gates, its openings architraved and parapet balustraded. The avenue [S] elevation contains a semicircular headed window framed with pilasters and a keystoned archivolt. In the internal angle a porch with a bowed entablature carried on a pair of Tuscan columns and responds resting on a base which is carried around the lodge as a stringcourse which corresponds with the cills. Rusticated quoins. Puny chimney stack.’ At the NE corner of the lodge a high wall (with a timber sheeted door to its E side) which encloses a small yard. A small modern steel window has been inserted on the right side of the N gable. The gate screen to the W of the lodge contains elements similar to that on the E entrance such as heavily rusticated sandstone pillars with plain frieze and moulded caps, decorative ‘spear head’ cast iron carriage gates and railings, with a pedestrian gate to the N side.
