Description
West Gates at Amisfield Park is an earlier 18th-century structure that originally formed a symmetrical group, including a gateway, screen walls, and two gate lodges, marking the main entrance to the former Amisfield House, which has since been demolished.
The West Gates feature gatepiers made of carved ashlar sandstone, which are tall and fluted, adorned with pulvinated bands, moulded copes, and swagged urn finials. The curved quadrant screen walls are harled on the outside and topped with ashlar copes, connecting to cushion-banded outer piers and straight links to the lodges, each with single doorways.
The West Lodge (North) is a two-bay, two-storey building with a foreshortened upper storey. It is harled and painted with raised margins, although it has been altered. On the west elevation, there are two ground floor windows that have been enlarged to bipartite, along with two small windows on the first floor. The south elevation features single windows on the ground floor and a modern bipartite window that breaks the eaves on the first floor. The rear (east) side is irregular, with a large extension and a lean-to extension to the north.
Amisfield Cottage (South) is also a two-bay, two-storey structure with a foreshortened upper storey, similarly harled and painted with raised margins. The west elevation has two windows symmetrically placed on each floor. The south elevation includes two windows, while the east elevation has a door and three windows on the ground floor and two windows on the first floor. There is a flat-roofed extension behind the screen wall to the north.
The windows throughout are timber sash and case, originally without horns, and mostly consist of 12 panes. The roofs are piended and covered in graded grey slate, with each lodge featuring a central stack, ashlar margins, moulded copes, and four plain cans.
