Description

The building is a lodge located at the main entrance of Castlemilk, likely designed by the architect David Bryce around 1865. This Tudor-style lodge features barge-boarding and is characterized by its asymmetrical design, comprising a single storey and an attic. It is constructed from coursed, bull-faced red ashlar stone with contrasting grey dressings and long and short worked margins. Most of the windows are mullioned.

On the southeast elevation, the lodge has three bays. It includes an inner porch with a shouldered door, an advanced gabled bay on the left, and a canted ground floor window that is corbelled to a square, with the main roof breaking forward above it. There is a dormer over the right bay. The eaves project and are adorned with cusped barge boards and pediments, while the gables are topped with finials. The roof is covered with graded slates and features axial stacks with paired square flues linked by a cornice.

The gatepiers consist of four corniced square piers made of grey ashlar, showcasing diamond-pointed rustication. The outer piers are topped with ball finials, while the inner piers have scrolled finials. The entrance is framed by a curved, long low cope that supports decorative cast-iron gates and railings.
