Gate Lodge, Brookhall, Londonderry, BT48 8JE

An octagonal 2 room single storey cottage, smooth rendered and painted with tetra style portico and slated pyramidal roof. Cottage has a single storey extension. The entrance to the house was under the portico but it is now altered to a sliding sash 16 pane window. The portico columns are fluted Doric order supporting a flat entablature. Each facet of the octagon has a large recessed panel in which is placed a window, casement type but with small panes, some recently replaced and not painted white. The slated roof, low pitch has single chimney stack at the apex. An extension has been added to the lodge and is connected by a porch link. It does not contribute to the setting of the lodge but neither does it spoil the principal elevation. This lodge is closely associated with the pillars, gates, railings and anchors for Brookhall (see HB01/25/002D).
