Description
West Lodge at Culross Abbey House is possibly an 18th century structure that underwent a 19th century rebuild and incorporates medieval fragments. It is a single-storey, three-bay, T-plan cottage with a modern two-storey rear wing. The building is constructed from sandstone rubble, featuring droved surrounds to its openings, while the rear wing is rendered.
The north elevation, which is the principal front, has a central door with a fanlight and flanking windows. The east elevation includes an off-centre window. The south elevation features a window to the right, an advanced wing to the left, and windows at both the ground and first floors. There is also a door and window on the right return, with advanced earlier stonework to the left of the wing.
On the west elevation, there are medieval fragments, including a blocked chamfered doorway to the left and a small window to the right, with a corbelled stone above and a chamfered pilaster at the far left. The entrance has a two-leaf timber boarded door, and the principal elevation has 12-pane timber sash and case windows, while the rear has replacement windows. The roofs are pitched with crowstepped gables and clay pantiles, featuring a carved foliate finial at the crowsteps and central coupled, coped polygonal ridge stacks.
Surrounding the lodge, a rubble garden wall extends from the west elevation's quoins to enclose the front and rear gardens. The north wall curves to the east and includes a pair of square-plan gatepiers topped with conical coping stones. The wall continues eastward, terminating with a tall, coped square-plan pier, which is mirrored on the north side with an identical pier and wall.
