East lodge (Logan’s Lodge), Drenagh Demesne, 38 Broad Road, Limavady, Co Londonderry

Lodge A pink sandstone ashlar faced one storey T-plan lodge with slated roofs hipped and faceted over canted gable of T in quasi gothic character with twin light pointed windows and diamond pane leaded lights set in a plain broad square headed surround. The twin lights are neatly moulded and detailed and painted white. The walls rise from a low projecting plinth and merge into the meagre roof edge masked by a half round gutter. While the ridge and hips have conventional tiles those of the canted bay have an imbricated or overlapped narrow flat tile similar to detail used at out-houses of Streeve House. There is a single low chimney stack with two decorative pots. The lodge has been extended in its length and these walls are smooth rendered. To the rear there is a small extension with out-house added. This is faced with crudely build sandstone to Broad Road and joined to house by trabeated opening. The plinth entrance door is in the angle of the T. The lodge is set inside the imposing gates and railing and has a well tended garden around. Gates & Screen An imposing gateway set back in an elliptical half sweep with four tall square sandstone piers panelled on each face with banding of vertical fluting under a square headed coping. Between the piers a low wall, which almost disappears into the forecourt as the ground rises, a simple cast iron/wrought iron railing approximately 150mm high with pike tops. The gates between the central piers are a little more elaborate with curved dipping top rail. Width between piers about three metres. The style of the gates contrasts with the gothic character of the gate lodge.
