Description
West Lodge at Dryfeholm House was built around 1860 and features a symmetrically arranged U-plan design. The northern section consists of a two-storey, three-bay cartshed and loft, characterized by shaped skews, short end stacks, and a tall three-stage square central turret. Flanking this are single-storey ranges, with cottages to the west and workshops to the east. The southern end bays are not original. Porches connect to screen walls and gatepiers that enclose the courtyard. The building is primarily constructed of narrow-coursed red rubble with ashlar dressings and slab margins. The turret stages are deeply offset, with steps leading to the loft in the bottom stage, and the other stages featuring deep cavetto cornices and a shaped finial. The windows are sash style, mostly with four or twelve-pane glazing. The west range has a bracketed hood over a wide west-facing opening, which is now a main door and partly blocked, with a tripartite window alongside. There are end and axial stacks, with one tall stack cut down over the additions, and the roofs are covered with graded slates.
