Description
East Lodge is a single-storey gate lodge dating to circa 1800. The building has a cruciform plan and is harled, with contrasting painted tooled ashlar margins. The west elevation, facing the driveway, is symmetrical and comprises three bays, centred on a deep, projecting semicircular portico. This portico has a bowed and piended swept roof supported by six painted wooden Roman Doric columns. Flanking the portico are pointed-headed windows with Y-tracery. Similar fenestration, with bowed gables, is found in the end gables, and all windows have lattice-pane glazing with intersecting tracery. A centre ridge stack rises from a bowed piended slate roof to all gables. The gate lodge was likely built at the same time as the earlier Achnagairn House, which was described as a "mansion" in 1841.
