Description
South Lodge, Ury House, was likely designed by John Baird of Glasgow in 1855 and was extended at the rear and altered internally in 2003. This single storey and attic structure features a 3-bay gabled Tudor style. The materials used include stugged ashlar, squared rubble, and cement render, with base and eaves courses. Notable architectural features include a basket-arched doorway, a quatrefoil opening, hoodmoulds with label stops, stone mullions, moulded arrises, and raked cills.
On the south elevation, there is a modern timber door in the center bay, with a slightly advanced gabled bay to the left that has a bipartite window and a glazed quatrefoil in the gablehead. To the right, a larger projecting gable features a stone-roofed canted window that leads to an arrowslit in the gablehead. The west elevation, facing Slug Road, has a gabled design with a bipartite window below an arrowslit. The east elevation is a plain gabled wall with a low extension at the outer right.
The windows are fitted with modern small-pane timber sash and case double glazing, and the roof is covered with grey slates. The building has tall coped and shouldered polygonal gablehead and ridge stacks, gablet coped ashlar skews and skewputts, and stone finials.
Inside, the lodge has been modernized but retains a winding timber staircase. The quadrant boundary walls and gatepiers consist of coped ashlar dwarf walls (with railings missing) and polygonal ashlar gatepiers topped with faceted conical caps.
