Description
West Lodge at Leslie House is likely from the late 17th century, with alterations and an addition to the street made in the mid-19th century. Further modifications were carried out in 1927 and 1955-6 by James Gillespie and Scott, which included the addition of gablet dormers and a northern gable. A late 17th century panel displaying the arms of Rothes and Lindsay is believed to have originated from Leslie House.
The lodge is a two-storey, irregular five-bay structure with a rectangular plan and a lean-to extension that adjoins the perimeter wall and gatepier of Leslie House. It is constructed from random whinstone rubble, with later additions of squared and snecked ashlar and dressed ashlar margins, featuring chamfered arrises.
On the east (main) elevation, there is evidence of previous openings. A door is located to the left of center, accompanied by a window in the outer left bay and two windows to the right, with the outer right bay obscured at ground level by the lean-to extension. Gabled dormerheads are positioned over the door and in the flanking bays, with an additional window in the outer right crowstepped gable from the mid-19th century.
The north (High Street) elevation, dating from the mid-19th century, features a two-bay crowstepped gable end with windows at ground level and smaller windows above. A central panel displays the arms of Rothes and Lindsay, while the outer right bay contains a boarded door with a plate glass fanlight and a gabled dormerhead that breaks the eaves.
The west elevation abuts the pitched roof of Leslie Parish Church Hall. The windows are sash and case with 8- and 12-pane glazing patterns. The roof is covered with graded grey slates and has a bellcast roof line with bracketed eaves. The crowstepped gables retain the original northern crowstep, and the ashlar skews feature beak skewputts on the gabled dormerheads, two of which have floreate finials. The ashlar stacks have battered coping, and the eaves are exposed and moulded.
