Description

Lodge House at Cameron Hospital in Windygates was likely designed by William Williamson and Hubbard in 1938. This building is a single and two-storey, eight-bay structure arranged in a rectangular plan. It features a stepped, swept roof and a porch designed in a stylised Arts and Crafts style. The exterior is harled, with stone cills and door margins, as well as a base course and part cill course.

The entrance elevation is symmetrical, with recessed central bays that have a tall brick base course. There are two windows flanking the centre, with an additional window in the bay to the right and a part-glazed timber door to the left. Slightly advanced flanking bays also contain part-glazed timber doors, all protected by a flat-roofed porch supported by two square columns. Above the porch is a plaque that reads "Fife County Council Cameron Hospital," flanked by small windows. The advanced flanking bays have narrow windows beneath the swept roofline, and there are further advanced single-storey outer bays with windows below the roofline.

The west elevation is symmetrical, with the ground floor obscured by screen hedges. The first floor features two windows at the centre in an advanced, flat-roofed bay that is tile hung, with flanking gabled bays, each containing a narrow window and a lower roofline, along with a recessed narrow blank bay beyond.

The north elevation is narrow, with a swept roof to the left and a full-height vertical wall to the right, which has a stack breaking the short skew. There is a window at the centre of the first floor.

The south elevation mirrors the north elevation.

The building has plate glass glazing in casement and top-opening windows, red tiles, and coped harled stacks with cans. The gatepiers are cement-rendered obelisk gatepiers.
