Description
This building is a lodge located at 83 New Abbey Road in Dumfries, likely designed by Walter Newall in the early 19th century. It is a single-storey lodge with a piend roof. Originally designed in an L-shape, the northern range was doubled in thickness, possibly in the mid-19th century, and features an additional roof pitch. The exterior is finished in painted ashlar, with the flanks and rear (north) elevation having a droved finish.
On the south elevation, there is an advanced, shallow-bowed wide left bay that includes panelled plain angle pilasters and two windows with a string course at cill level. A full-height square porch is situated in the re-entrant angle, and the lodge retains its original glazing pattern in the sash windows. A narrow eaves band and a main cornice run across all elevations. The building has squat diamond stacks that are corniced and is roofed with graded slates. Lean-to sheds are attached to the north wall.
The entrance features two square rusticated and painted ashlar gatepiers topped with shallow pyramidal caps. Rebuilt curved low rubble-built quadrants incorporate the base of a third pier on the north side.
