South Gate-Lodge, Carberry Tower

The South Gate-Lodge at Carberry Tower, dated 1864, was largely rebuilt and raised to include an attic in 1911. This single storey and attic gate lodge features modern additions and is constructed from stugged, squared, and snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and chamfered arrises around the openings. The stone mullions enhance its architectural detail.

The entrance elevation has three bays and includes a gabled porch with decorative bargeboarding over the central doorway, which is flanked by timber columns set on decorative stone balustrades. The door features a small-pane upper panel. To the left, there is a tripartite window with a hoodmoulded date panel above the center light, and a gabled, timber mullioned bipartite dormer above that. A slightly advanced gabled bay to the left contains a bipartite window at both the ground level and in the attic. The blank gabled end elevations are adorned with deep, decorative bargeboarding.

On the rear elevation, there is a gabled bay to the left, with modern extensions to the single storey bays on the right. The windows have multi-pane upper sashes and plate glass lower sashes. The roof is covered with purple slates and features swept and overhanging eaves, along with decorative bargeboards and finials at the gableheads. The stone stacks have moulded coping, and decorative cans are retained.

The property also includes quadrants, piers, gates, and railings. The quadrants are made of rubble, with one having rubble coping and the other ashlar coping, along with simple wrought-iron railings. The drum piers are rubble coped, and there are substantial two-leaf timber gates.
