Description

Kilrie House Gate Lodge is a single-storey, three-bay lodge house built around 1854, featuring a T-plan and Tudor detailing. The structure is constructed of rubble with droved quoin strips and stugged ashlar quoins. It has a hoodmould, stone mullions, and chamfered arrises.

On the principal elevation, there is a broad, advanced gable with a stone finial at the center bay, which includes a canted tripartite window beneath a cornice and a moulded blocking course. To the left, a gabled porch is set in a re-entrant angle, with steps leading up to a hoodmoulded, panelled timber door and a raised shield on a stone panel in the gablehead. There is also a window on the return to the left and another window in the bay to the right.

The south elevation features a gabled section with a window in the center. The west elevation has a piend-roofed bay in the center with two modern windows, along with a low timber extension in the re-entrant angle to the right. The north elevation is a blank gabled wall.

The windows are timber sash and case with a 4-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with some polygonal cans, as well as ashlar-coped gablet skews and gablet skewputts.
