Description
South Lodge at Hermiston House in Edinburgh is a single-storey lodge built in the early 19th century, likely designed by William Burn. It has a near-rectangular plan with a gabled roof, constructed from stugged, squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and chamfered reveals. The eaves are overhanging.
The south elevation features an asymmetrical M-gable, with a broad bay to the right that includes a canted timber oriel window, which is a later addition. To the left is a lower entrance bay with a boarded door that has cast-iron hinge brackets and a blank plaque in the gablehead. There is also a recessed bay on the outer left.
The west elevation has a broad blank gable, while the north elevation includes a window in the outer right bay, with a modern felt-roofed addition against the outer gable.
The lodge has plate glass sash and case windows, with 6-pane top-hopper windows for the centre window of the oriel and fixed-pane side windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and features a coped sandstone ridge stack.
In addition to the lodge, there are gatepiers and a boundary wall. The gatepiers to the west of the lodge leading to Hermiston House are made of stugged sandstone with ashlar corniced caps and ball finials. The gatepiers to the east leading into the orchard are tall stugged sandstone with similar ashlar caps. The boundary wall is constructed of rubble with semi-circular coping.
