Description

Danskine Lodge is a gate lodge built in the mid to late 19th century. It is a single storey structure with an attic and features a gabled roof. The building is constructed from squared and snecked red sandstone, accented with contrasting grey ashlar sandstone dressings, and has chamfered arises.

On the northwest elevation, there are three bays. The central bay contains a door with a letterbox fanlight, and there is a window to the right. To the left, there is a slightly advanced gabled bay featuring a piend-roofed, corniced, canted ashlar window at the ground level, along with a narrow window in the gablehead. The northeast elevation has a window at ground level to the left, which has been re-sited from the center, and a blinded narrow attic window at the center of the gablehead.

The southwest elevation has a window at the center and a smaller window in the gablehead above. The southeast elevation includes both original and modern projections at the rear.

The lodge features 8-pane sash and case windows, with lying-pane glazing in the side lights of the canted window and in a blinded form at the northeast gablehead. The eaves overhang with moulded brackets and a simple barge board, and there are coped gablehead stacks. The roof is covered with grey slates.
