Description
North Lodge at Preston Grange in Prestonpans is a mid-18th century gate lodge that has undergone later additions and alterations. It features a three-bay, single-storey design and is situated next to boundary walls along the roadside. The construction is of sandstone rubble, with broached ashlar and droved ashlar dressings, raised margins, an eaves course, and strip quoins on the rear.
The northern elevation is near-symmetrical, with a vertically-boarded timber door located to the right of the center, flanked by windows, and a small window on the outer left. The western elevation has a pair of regularly spaced windows. The southern elevation consists of six symmetrical bays, featuring two modern 14-pane glazed doors, each flanked by porthole windows. To the right, there is a modern addition that includes a recessed glazed bay with a central two-leaf glazed door and a three-bay block on the outer right, which has regularly spaced bipartite windows in each bay. The eastern elevation was not visible in 2000.
The lodge has modern glazing, primarily timber sash and case windows, and piended grey slate roofs with lead ridges. It also features cast-iron rainwater goods and a central ashlar stack that is coped and has a single circular chimney can.
The boundary walls are made of random rubble and flank the lodge, with a predominantly rubble-coped design. This includes a wall adjoining the lodge to the east, which incorporates a pair of infilled doorways and has an ashlar cope that sweeps up to the rubble cope next to the lodge.
