Gate Lodge to Hawthorn Hill, Drumintee Road, Killevy, Newry, Co Armagh, BT35 8DE

A restored and extended single-storey/ two-bay gate lodge aligned NE-SW on the E side of Drumintee Road. Pyramidal natural slate roof with cement skews and central granite chimney with moulded stone string course and coping. Overhanging eaves with timber soffit and brackets, supporting ogee-metal rainwater goods. Walls are coursed granite rubble. All openings have segmental brick relieving arches and granite cills. Principal elevation faces NW to road. At centre is a timber-sheeted door with strap hinges and cast-iron door furniture. It is accessed by a single granite step. Flanking door to either side is a geometrically glazed cast-iron window with central mullion. Side elevations are identical - each has two equally spaced windows. All are side-hung margin-paned lattice windows. Rear elevation is abutted to centre by a modern glazed link block; the exposed section is blank. Link has a pitched natural slate roof with central French doors to each elevation, flanked by full height windows. It leads to an extension, which is of a scale in keeping with the main block. Extension has a similar detailed roof with cement-dashed and painted walls with a smooth rendered and painted basecourse. All windows are modern top-hung casements; side elevations each have two equally spaced windows (those NE elevation are larger). Rear elevation has a pair of casements set to left. Setting: The gate lodge fronts the road, directly opposite the front drive to Hawthorn Hill (now Slieve Gullion Forest Park). It is set within mature gardens to rear and enclosed to either side by a curving rubble stone wall with stone copings.
