Gate Lodge, Glenferness House

Gate Lodge at Glenferness House was designed by Archibald Simpson between 1844 and 1845, with later additions by A. & W. Reid in 1869. Originally built in a low single-storey T-plan, it has been altered to a cruciform plan with each arm consisting of a single bay. The structure is made of mixed granite rubble with tooled grey granite dressings. The northwest arm, which faces the drive, features a corniced door that has been blocked and converted into a window. Each arm has corniced windows, and there are base and band courses, ridge and end corniced stacks, deep joisted eaves, and a shallow slate roof. A new harled, flat-roofed wing and entrance have been added to the south. The lodge is enclosed by low coped rubble walls that flank the entrance, which is marked by simple panelled ashlar short square entrance piers and a pair of wrought-iron carriage gates dating from 1953.
