Description

South Lodge at Finzean House is a single-storey and attic lodge built in 1858, featuring a rectangular plan and an ornamental porch. The exterior is harled with finely finished granite margins, and includes a base course, projecting cills, and overhanging eaves with timber bargeboards.

The northeast elevation is asymmetrical, with a window in the left bay and a former two-leaf panelled timber door with a letterbox fanlight in the ground floor of the right bay. The gabled attic bay to the left oversails the doorway to form a porch, supported by timber barley-sugar columns and pierced timber railings on either side. A timber oriel window is set in the gable.

The northwest elevation is also asymmetrical, featuring a single gabled bay with a tooled shield at the center displaying the Finzean Farquharsons monogram and the date "1858." There is a window set in the gable at the attic floor. An adjoining single-storey addition on the outer right has two modern windows.

The southwest elevation has its ground floor obscured by a gabled single-storey addition, with regular fenestration and a single window set in the gablehead.

The southeast elevation is asymmetrical, with a gabled bay to the right that has a two-light window on the ground floor. An armorial shield featuring a Lion Rampant and fir trees is located between the ground and attic floors, with a window set in the gablehead.

The lodge has replacement PVCu windows, a graded grey slate roof with a tiled ridge, a coped harled ridge stack with decorative cans, and cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 1999.
