Description
Gardener's House, part of Addistoun House, was designed by Charles G Soutar in 1938. This single-storey, L-plan lodge showcases the Arts and Crafts style. It features a dry dash exterior with a random rubble base course and raised concrete cills, along with a wooden eaves course.
The main elevation includes a squat round entrance tower with a swept bowed roof located in the re-entrant angle. It has a narrow door and narrow windows on either side. To the left, there is a 2-bay elevation, while the right side is a blank return.
The rear elevation is asymmetrical and consists of three bays. It has a boarded door with a glazed lozenge panel on the outer right, a small window just below the eaves at the center, and a window on the outer left. The building is fitted with metal-framed, small-paned casement windows and is topped with graded brown clay stone slates and a concrete ridge.
