Description
33 Main Street in Ratho is a Tudor lodge, likely designed by William Burn around 1840, with later additions made around 1860 at the rear. The building is a single storey with a rectangular plan, constructed from painted stugged sandstone featuring droved sandstone margins and chamfered arrises.
The main elevation faces the street and consists of a two-bay design with a recessed entrance bay on the outer left. A taller block has been added at the rear. The street-facing side includes bipartite windows with dormerheads that break the eaves, topped with ashlar gablet coping and skewblocks. There is a modern door located on the outer left.
On the east elevation, there is a bipartite window in the original lower block to the right and a larger bipartite window in the block to the left. A modern wall has been constructed directly in front of the left block, and there are modern additions at the rear. The main block features six-pane fixed glazing, while the later block has eight-pane sash and case windows. The roof is covered with rough graded grey slate and has three squat rendered octagonal cans linked at the center. The later rear block has overhanging eaves.
The property also includes octagonal pedestrian gatepiers, with the right pier built into the corner of the building.
