Description

This building is a lodge at Castlemilkgates, likely designed by David Bryce around 1867. It is an asymmetrical single-storey structure with an attic, possibly originally two cottages, featuring low rear wings. A detached smithy completes the courtyard to the north, which is accessed from the east. The courtyard is enclosed by screen walls with circular piers, and the ball-finialed gatepiers flanking the driveway may date from the 20th century. The lodge is constructed from snecked stugged and squared rubble, with ashlar dressings, and all roofs are covered with graded slates.

The south elevation, facing the driveway, has four bays and includes a blocked door on the left and a projecting chimney breast on the right. There are two bipartite windows with wooden mullions and three gabled dormers. The original roof is U-shaped, featuring projecting eaves and a single end stack, with the wallhead to the courtyard now raised in timber, connecting the outer gables. A gabled timber porch is located on the two-bay east flank, and there are coped stacks.

The smithy is a plain, rectangular building with a door leading to the courtyard and small-paned windows on either side. There is a vehicle opening on each long wall, with the northern opening likely enlarged and fitted with sliding doors. Inside, there is an original stone furnace with a coped wallhead stack to the north, and a large guillotine mounted beside the door. Rooflights are also present.

The gatepiers consist of two square piers, each adorned with a leaded dog's head mask, and there are wrought-iron gates.
