Lodge, St Roque, Astley Ainslie Hospital, 143 Grange Loan, Edinburgh

The lodge at St Roque, located within the Astley Ainslie Hospital grounds on Grange Loan in Edinburgh, dates from the later 19th century. It is a single-storey building with an asymmetrical plan, featuring gables adorned with bargeboards and finials, deep overhanging eaves, a gabled porch, and a canted window on the principal west elevation. The exterior is constructed of coursed stugged snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings, and there is a base course except on the east elevation. The windows are architraved with bracketed cills, except for the canted window and the outhouse lean-to on the east side. All openings have chamfered reveals, except those of the outhouse lean-to. The building showcases externally projecting rafters and purlins throughout, with braced pendant timber finials on each gable, though the timber apex finial on the south gable is missing.

On the west elevation, the gabled porch bay projects to the left and features an architraved semicircular raised section above the lintel, leading to a boarded timber door. To the right, there is a three-light canted window set back. The south elevation includes a gabled bay with a central window, while the north elevation has a window in the central gabled bay and an adjoining lean-to on the east side. The side elevation of the porch bay is set back to the right and has a two-light mullioned window to the left. The east elevation features a projecting outhouse lean-to on the right, with an unglazed window to the left and a boarded timber door to the right, along with a window set back to the left.

The lodge has eight and two-pane timber sash and case windows and is topped with a grey slate roof, complete with grey ridge tiles. It has two tall ridge stacks, both corniced and with moulded coping; one features octagonal and circular cans, while the other has a moulded rectangular can. The interior was not inspected in 1999.
