East Lodge

East Lodge was built in 1872 and is a single storey and attic, 3 bay, rectangular-plan, Jacobean style former gate lodge to the northeast of Garthdee House. It is constructed in Aberdeen bond, cherry-cocked granite with a base course, tooled granite long and short margins and the openings are chamfered. It has kneelered gables and skewputts. At the centre of the principal (northwest) elevation is a slightly advanced kneelered entrance gable with a Tudor-arched doorpiece and a replacement entrance door. Above this doorpiece is a spherical light suspended on a decorative iron bracket, and there is a blind shield to the gablehead and stone finial at the apex. The southwest gable elevation has a 3-light canted bay window in ashlar granite with a cornice and blocking course. The rear (southeast) elevation has several additions of varying 20th century dates, and a box dormer flanked by two stacks.

There is predominantly 4-pane glazing in timber sash and case frames. The roof is pitched with grey slates. There are gablehead stacks with chamfered copes.

The interior, seen in 2014, is symmetrically arranged around a central staircase. There is painted timber boarding to dado in most rooms and plain cornicing.

To the north is a pair of squat, square-plan gatepiers, with stop-chamfered corners, moulded cornice detail and very shallow pyramidal cap.
