Salterbridge Gatelodge

Salterbridge Gatelodge, located in the glorious Blackwater Valley, dates from the mid 19th Century. Situated on the Salterbridge estate, on the valley road a mile from the charming village of Cappoquin, The Gatelodge is only 6 miles from the Heritage Town of Lismore, 10 miles from the sea at Youghal and Dungarvan, and at the foot of the majestic Knockmealdown Mountains



Salterbridge is a classically proportioned pavilion gatelodge, which was built c.1849 by the Chearnly family, who owned the estate from the mid 18th Century until the 1950s.

The lodge, though obviously in habitation in the 1930s when the Glanville family lived there, was derelict by the 1950s. Its function, like all gatelodges, was to indicate to the passer-by the good standing and taste of the original owner, and to display some of the features of the architect's work, re-interpreted from the big house.



Among its interesting features is an octagonal garden room from which the two main rooms, bedroom and sitting room, lead and the kitchen and bathroom are to the rear.



This enchanting property accommodates two people in great comfort.
