Description

Heather Lodge, located at Mount Stuart House, is a late 19th-century asymmetrical cottage. It is a single-storey building with three bays and features a pitched, single-storey outbuilding connected at the rear. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked whinstone rubble, with slightly droved sandstone ashlar dressings. It has a raised base course and steeply pitched crowstepped gables, along with raised quoins and long and short surrounds to the openings. The windows have stop-chamfered sandstone mullions and projecting, painted cills.

On the east elevation, there is a timber panelled door located in the penultimate bay to the outer right, along with a bipartite window in the bay to the outer right. The crowstepped gable to the left of centre features an advanced, piended quadripartite window. The south elevation includes bipartite windows in both bays of the main block and a lean-to link to the single bay outbuilding on the outer left.

The cottage predominantly has leaded glazing and is topped with a red tile roof, featuring crowstepped skews, beak skewputts, coped ridge, and apex stacks with circular cans. The interior was not seen in 1996.
