Description

North Gate-Lodge at Carberry Tower is a single-storey gate lodge, likely designed by David Bryce, dating from the late 19th century. Originally built in an L-plan, it features later additions. The lodge is constructed from rubble sandstone with squared, snecked, and stugged stone on the south elevation.

The south elevation has three bays, with a central doorway that includes a gabled porch supported by "tree-trunk" columns set in a re-entrant angle. The entrance has boarded, two-leaf doors with a fanlight and a decorative lintel. To the left, there is an advanced gabled bay with a canted, four-light window topped by a slated piend roof, while a single window is located to the right. The roadside elevation shows a blank gabled bay on the right and a rear jamb on the left, which features an enlarged window.

The north (rear) side has various additions and a mix of glazing patterns. The lodge is adorned with timber bargeboards, finials, and kingposts, along with decorative gutter fixtures. It has grey slate roofing and coped stacks. A wrought-iron gate leads to the garden path.

The property also includes rubble coped quadrant walls and retaining walls, with the quadrants sweeping up the driveway.
