Description
Blue Lodge at Ury House is a single-storey, two-bay gabled lodge, likely designed by John Baird of Glasgow around 1855, with an extension added to the rear. The building is constructed from squared and snecked granite, featuring bull-faced dressings and quoins, a base course, and relieving arches. The stone mullions and reveals are chamfered, and the cills are raked.
On the southeast elevation, there is an advanced gabled bay with a tripartite window to the right. Above the timber door, which has a two-part fanlight, is a finialled and pedimented braced timber canopy, with flanking downpipes on the return to the left. To the left of this bay, there is another tripartite window on a recessed face.
The northeast elevation features an advanced gabled bay with a tripartite window to the left of centre and a bipartite window to the right. The northwest elevation has a broad gabled bay with a door to the right and a small flat-roofed extension adjoining at the outer right.
The windows are timber sash and case with an 8-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a tall coped and shouldered bull-faced chimney stack to the east, while the one to the west has been removed. The eaves overhang with decorative timber bargeboarding and a decorative cast-iron finial. Square-section downpipes are fitted with decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings.
