Lodge, 38 Dick Place, Edinburgh

This lodge, located at 38 Dick Place in Edinburgh, dates from around 1874. It is a single-storey, gabled structure with an L-shaped plan and an extension. The building is constructed from pink bull-faced sandstone that is squared and snecked, with cream-coloured ashlar dressings, chamfered reveals, and curvilinear bargeboards, except on the south elevation.

On the west (entrance) elevation, the lodge features a three-bay design with a gabled ashlar porch at the centre, which is set in a re-entrant angle. The porch has a lugged, architraved door surround, a blank panel above, and decorative iron door hinges and handle. To the left, there is a single window, while to the right, a corniced canted window is adorned with a swept eaves fishscale slate canopy and buckle-motif flashing, with a gable above.

The north elevation has a single window and a square blank tablet set in the gablehead. The south elevation features two single windows and a square blank tablet in the gablehead. The east elevation consists of a harled extension with two single windows and a secondary entrance, along with a single lying-pane window to the outer right and a square blank tablet at the gablehead.

The windows are a mixture of four-pane and plate glass sash and case styles. The roof is covered with grey-green slates and has wooden finials at all gables except the entrance, along with lead flashing and a central coped stack.

The interior was not seen in 1990. The property also includes two corniced ashlar gatepiers with buckle details, squared and snecked pink bull-faced quadrant walls with ashlar coping, and coped rubble boundary walls, with low outhouses built into the northeast corner.
