Description
The lodge at Balgray House, built in the earlier 19th century, is a single-storey structure with an asymmetrical cruciform plan featuring gables. The exterior is constructed from squared whin rubble laid in graded courses. Notable architectural elements include a canted window in the south gable and a recessed door to the left, along with a two-bay east arm and a single window in the west gable. The lodge has sash windows that display a variety of glazing patterns. The roof is finished with graded slates and features shaped skews and corniced square apex stacks, although one stack has been removed. A modern low brick outshot is attached to the north gable. The entrance is marked by square red ashlar gatepiers with projecting caps, complemented by curved low quadrants and decorative cast-iron gates and railings.
