Description
West Lodge, dated 1868 and presumably by David Bryce, is a picturesque single-storey lodge. A sympathetic, recessed three-bay addition was built to the east in the early 20th century. The lodge is constructed of coursed squared red rubble with polished dressings, the addition being faced in bull-faced ashlar. The asymmetrical north elevation, facing the driveway, has a projecting gabled porch with a bolection-moulded doorway. A canted ground floor window is set within a gabled bay, corbelled to square with the main roof carried over it. A tripartite window is in the west gable. Sash windows have lying-pane glazing. The lodge features projecting eaves, decorative bargeboards with spike finials, corniced axial stacks, and slate roofs. Cast-iron railed quadrants, featuring spiked barley-sugar railings on red ashlar coping and squat, chamfered square terminal piers, originally flanked the lodge, though the gates have since been removed. David Bryce also designed additions to Halleaths in 1866, and this lodge relates to Bryce’s other lodges at Castlemilk.
