Description
117 Grange Loan is a single-storey, three-bay lodge built in 1874 by David Macgibbon of MacGibbon & Ross. The building features squared and snecked sandstone with polished dressings, long and short quoins, and stop-chamfered margins.
The west entrance elevation has an open porch located at the center, formed by a bay to the right. It includes timber columns, bargeboards, and eaves, topped with a lead finial and a panelled door. There is a window in the advanced gabled bay to the outer right, and a blank heraldic shield is set in the gablehead. A window is also present in the bay to the outer left.
On the north elevation facing Grange Loan, there is a datestone set in the gablehead. The east elevation facing Blackford Avenue features a secondary doorway and irregular window arrangements. The south elevation has flat-roofed garaging adjoining the lodge, with replacement windows that include top hoppers. The roof is covered in grey slate, gabled to the north and piended to the south, with a tall coped circular section gablehead and shouldered wallhead stacks.
The boundary walls are made of squared and snecked rubble, with saddleback ashlar coping. There is a pedestrian gateway to Blackford Avenue, featuring a boarded gate with decorative iron hinges.
