Lodge, Auchengower, Cove

The lodge at Auchengower in Cove is a single-storey, L-plan building constructed in the later 19th century, featuring a gabled Gothic style with Jacobean Baronial details that complement the nearby villa. It is built from whinstone and sandstone rubble, with polished sandstone dressings and margins. The design includes chamfered reveals, a lintel band adorned with chip-carved floral details, a base course, quoins, and an eaves band. The projecting eaves are supported by paired timber consoles at the corners.

On the southwest elevation, a narrow gable is advanced to the outer right, though the finial is missing. There is a slightly projecting bipartite window at the ground level, a bead cornice, and a coped roof featuring a gablet motif and cast-iron brattishing, along with corner buttresses. A window is located on the left return. A gabled porch is situated in the re-entrant angle to the left, showcasing a decorative bargeboard and finial, with a modern reconstituted stone door beneath a sandstone 3-centred arched pediment that includes armorial details. A narrow lancet window is found on the left return.

The northwest elevation features a gable with a two-tiered bargeboard and a canted window topped with an angled coped roof and gablet motif. The porch is recessed to the right, and there is a modern lean-to boarded bay with a felt roof on the outer left.

On the southeast elevation, there are two grouped windows to the outer right, which are 8-pane sash and case with plate glass.

The windows throughout the lodge are timber sash and case with plate glass. The roof is covered with grey slate, displaying bands of diaper and fish-scale patterns, and includes lead flashings, a raised coped sandstone stack on the southeast elevation, and a tall, broad coped wallhead stack to the northeast.

The interior was not seen in 1993.

The boundary wall features an ashlar convex plinth wall with saddleback coping, and decorative cast-iron railings are situated between the outer and inner gatepiers. The square gatepiers have stop-chamfered arrises, a gabletted cornice, and are raised to a gabletted cap.
