Description
The Lodge and East Gates at Camptoun House date from around 1820 and consist of a single-storey, four-bay lodge house located by the east gates. The building is constructed of random rubble with contrasting grey sandstone dressings, which are broached and droved but showing signs of erosion. The front elevation, facing south, features a prominent semi-circular bow with tripartite windows, stone mullions, and a conical roof. To the right, there is a single window, while to the left, a vertically boarded door is topped with a bipartite fanlight and sheltered by a gabled hood that has a timber finial and kingpost. The end bay also contains a single window.
On the rear elevation, which faces north, the west end is gabled and includes a bipartite window with a stone mullion. There is a central lean-to outshot that has a skylight and two small windows. The windows on the rear outshot are top-opening, while all other windows are timber sash and case, featuring 12 panes in the wider windows and 6 panes in the narrower ones. The eaves and verges project, and the roof is covered with grey graded Scotch slate. There are two cavetto coped ashlar stacks with plain cans, although some are missing.
In addition to the lodge, there are outbuildings including a henhouse and a woodshed, which are leaning against the boundary wall and are currently derelict.
The gates consist of two decorative cast-iron gates for vehicular and pedestrian access. They are flanked and divided by three tall gatepiers that are round or possibly drum-shaped, made of rough snecked rubble. Two of the gatepiers have octagonal copes with ball finials, while the northernmost pier has a plain rounded top. The gates are surrounded by a rubble wall that features a castellated cope.
