Description

Mulnavar Lodge is a detached three-bay two-storey gabled stone house built around 1870, occupying an elevated site to the north of Drumlegagh Church Road. The building is of L-plan form facing east and accessed by a long drive to the southeast.

The main house is constructed of squared uncoursed stone with ashlar quoins and a chamfered ashlar plinth course. Pitched natural slate roofs feature a catslide over the rear pitch to half-landing level only, with stone ridge tiles and three stone ashlar chimneystacks decorated with octagonal clay pots and lead flashing. Carved stone fractibles to all gables incorporate a chamfered moulding below, continued along the entire eaves and supporting ogee-moulded cast-iron guttering with octagonal hoppers and cast-iron downpipes.

Window openings are square-headed, set in landscape format in flush stone ashlar divided into three or four lights with stone mullions. All windows have been replaced with timber double-glazed casements throughout.

The east front elevation features an advanced single-bay two-storey gable to the left. This incorporates a rectangular-plan three-sided bay window to the ground floor with a three-sided stone ashlar window frame of four vertical lights to the front and one to each cheek, set on a continuous sill course with a carved cornice and blocking course above. The principal entrance occupies the inner angle to the right, marked by a stone canopy supported on a pair of s-curved stone brackets. The doorway is formed in flush tooled and chamfered in-and-out work with a timber panelled door (upper panels glazed) opening onto a front paved area.

The south elevation displays a symmetrical arrangement of two windows to both floors with a gablet rising through the eaves above each bay. Ground floor windows have four lights, first floor windows three lights.

The west rear elevation comprises a blank two-storey gable to the right with a half-landing window opening below the eaves to the centre and a square-headed door opening to the left flanked by smaller window openings on either side. Windows and door are replacement timber casements and hardwood glazed door respectively.

The north elevation consists of a full catslide gabled elevation with a single tripartite window opening to both floors and an advanced chimneystack to the rear end of the house with offsets and a small window opening to the rear eaves.

The setting comprises a two-storey stone former coach-house set parallel to the rear of the main house. This multi-bay structure contains a segmental-headed carriage-arch opening giving access to an enclosed internal yard, bordered by tall rubble-stone walls. The coach-house retains original bipartite timber casement windows with timber mullions. To the interior of the yard is a further carriage opening with timber lintel and replacement timber doors, with recesses in the walls to either side to accommodate previous doors. All external detailing matches the main house.

Beyond the coach-house lies a large farmyard containing single and two-storey whitewashed rubble-stone outbuildings with pitched natural slate and corrugated iron roofs. The structure occupies a rural farm setting with access from the front by a long gravel avenue to the southeast. A two-storey outhouse forms an enclosed rear yard adjacent to the main house.
