Description
The Lodge at Portrack House, dating from around 1770, was re-erected on its current site around 1970. It is a single-storey building with an octagonal plan, originally serving as a lodge and now functioning as a summerhouse. The exterior is rendered, featuring ashlar margins, an eaves course, a cornice, and a blocking course. The windows and door have octagon-patterned glazing, with the door facing Portrack House. There is an inscription panel on a blind window on the opposite side. The building has a corniced octagonal apex stack and a facetted slate roof.
