Description
North Lodge is a mid-19th century Gothic entrance lodge to Monachty, which is not marked on the 1843 Tithe Map. The building is constructed of rubble stone, likely originally stuccoed, and features steep slate roofs with lozenge-cut slates and paired red brick ridge stacks. These stacks are set diagonally and have nogged brick caps. The lodge is designed in an L-plan, single-storey picturesque Gothic style.
The east gable facing the road has wavy bargeboards and a small canted hipped bay window. The south return includes a cambered-headed three-light timber window with top-lights. The southwest wing projects and has similar bargeboards on the south gable, along with a two-light timber cross-window. There is an added west lean-to with bargeboards that continue down on the south end.
Across the north side, there is an added lower parallel range with a plain stone east gable. This lodge is an unusual example of picturesque Gothic architecture at the former northeast entrance to the grounds of Monachty, a significant country house in the area.
