East Lodge, Culross Abbey House

East Lodge at Culross Abbey House is an earlier to mid-19th century single-storey classical lodge house, which has been converted to include a later upper storey in the 20th century. The building has a rectangular plan and features three bays. A central Tuscan portico is a prominent architectural element, constructed from tooled, coursed sandstone. The lodge has a wide ashlar eaves course, a base course, and vertical margins at the arrises. All original windows are adorned with decorative ashlar architraves, and the structure includes corniced pilasters with pendants, a corniced pediment, and foliate finials.

The north elevation is symmetrical, featuring a central door with a fanlight and a chamfered ashlar surround. The advanced porch has two columns at the front and two columned pilasters at the rear, supporting a pitched roof. A central corniced tablet displays a carved unicorn, which is part of the Preston crest. There are windows to the left and right of the door.

The west elevation has a central window, while the south elevation features three regularly spaced windows. A flat-roofed attic extension includes a glazed and tile-hung linear section that is integrated into the roof. The east elevation also has a central window.

Windows are fitted with chamfered timber mullions and transoms, and there is a timber panelled door. The roof is pitched and covered with slate, featuring deep eaves, bracketed eaves, and decorative curvilinear bargeboards on all gables, including the pitched porch roof. A coupled central corniced polygonal stack has two polygonal cans.

The interior has not been seen.

The lodge is accompanied by a pair of tall square-plan rusticated gatepiers that are corniced. Some metal gates remain, along with pedestrian gates and a second pair of gatepiers, with an urn on the southern pier. Walls extend eastward from the outer piers, curving at the roadside and terminating at piers with corniced conical coping stones.
