Description
Braelangwell Lodge is a building dating to the mid-18th and early 19th centuries, with additions from the later 19th century and alterations in the mid-20th century. The exterior is harled with ashlar margins.
The south elevation is a two-storey, three-bay house. The central entrance has a decorative fanlight dating to around 1800, now partially obscured by a late 19th-century timber porch with glazing and a gabled design. To the right is an early 19th-century tripartite window, and to the left a late 19th-century canted bay window. Five symmetrical windows rise above the wallhead, each set under decorative bargeboarded gables. The roof is slate-covered, with end stacks.
A long, low single-storey and attic wing extends from the west gable. It is also harled with ashlar margins and shows signs of former shuttered windows, with some shutter hooks remaining. The wing is built on boulder footings and features asymmetrical window placement, lattice glazing, and one window that has been converted into a doorway accessed by a flight of steps. Three small, piended dormers with two-pane casements are set into the slate roof.
Modern wings project from the north entrance front.
A datestone inscribed "WILLIAM M OF ROSS 1748" is present. Historically, Braelangwell was described as "the picturesque summer residence of Sir Charles Ross of Balnagown" in 1840. Various alterations were carried out in 1809 and 1812 by James Smith, an architect and carpenter who also designed Rosekeen Church in 1830.
