The Coach House, High Street, Elie

Hycroft Lodge, built around 1830, is a single-storey and attic lodge designed in the gabled Italianate style. It features a shallow-pitched roof and broad eaves, with a former office range facing High Street, along with flanking boundary walls and gatepiers. The building is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with droved ashlar dressings, which have been rendered and painted on the High Street elevations.

On the east elevation, there is a doorpiece with a cantilevered slab-gablet hood to the right and a shallow canted bay to the left. Above, a bipartite window with a gablet head breaks the eaves on the first floor. The outer left section has been remodelled into a single-storey space.

The north elevation features a small, arched lattice window in the attic gable. Adjoining to the right is a two-storey, flat-roofed building that has three ground floor and two first floor windows with painted margins, along with a shouldered stack.

The windows throughout the lodge are predominantly timber sash and case with four panes of glazing. The roof is covered in grey slate, and there are cast iron rainwater goods.

The former office range, now converted into a dwelling and referred to as the coach house, is located to the right of the gatepiers. This single-storey and attic structure has two margin-paned windows and two gablet dormerheads. The east courtyard elevation features a segmental-arched opening, French doors, and margin-paned lights. The roof is piended to the east with a low ashlar stack, and there are two windows and a dormer on the rear (south) elevation.

The walls and gatepiers form the entrance to the former office courtyard, consisting of two painted square-plan ashlar gatepiers with cornices and ball finials. Upswept walls flank the adjoining lodge and coach house, and there is an ornately carved armorial panel that has been re-set within the south wall at the rear of the courtyard.
