Statement of Interest

B-Group with Balfunning House, Former Stable Block and E Lodge and Entranceway. An attractive earlier 20th century entrance lodge with a distinctive tower feature at its W angle. The former W entrance was further to E; this lodge and gateway being erected when the line of the road was changed slightly, which is said to have been in the 1920's. The original W entrance can be seen on the 1918 OS map and the change in the line of the road (together with the lodge and entranceway) can clearly be seen on the 1965 OS map.
