South Lodge, Pittendreich, Melville Dykes Road, Lasswade

South Lodge, located on Melville Dykes Road in Lasswade, is a single-storey lodge with an attic, built in the early 20th century, possibly by architects Lorimer and Matthew. It features two bays and is designed in the style of Robert Lorimer, showcasing boat-bow dormers, a bell-cast roof, and an eyebrow window at the rear. The exterior is harled, with tooled ashlar surrounds for the doors and polished ashlar cills.

The principal elevation on the southeast is irregular with two bays. It has a bipartite window at ground level, offset to the left of center, with a boat-bow dormer above it. There is another window at ground level in the bay to the right, and a tall stack rises above the slightly lower roof apex.

On the northwest (rear) elevation, there is a single window at ground level in the center, with the roof curving over it. To the right, there is a small boarded hatch door, and a stepped screen wall on the outer right with a lean-to shed behind.

The northeast (entrance) elevation has three bays, arranged in a 1-2 grouping with an advanced bay to the left. The doorway features a part-glazed door set back to the center, with a small, narrow window high in the roof to the left. There is a window at ground level in the bay to the right and another window in the advanced bay to the left.

The southwest (side) elevation also has three bays, with a window at ground level in the center and a tall, wide stack above it. There is a window in the bay to the right and a boarded door in the bay to the left.

The windows throughout include 12-, 9-, and 4-pane timber sash and case styles, with timber mullions in the tripartite windows. The dormer and flanking door feature small-pane casement windows, and there is a curved eyebrow window with flush lights in the roof. The roof is covered in grey slate with a piended design, curving over the rear window, and includes slate on the dormer, concrete ridges, harled stacks with ashlar copes, lead rainwater goods, and cast-iron remaining rainwater goods.

The gatepiers and boundary walls consist of short, squared sandstone rubble piers topped with flat ashlar copes, along with short squared rubble quadrant and boundary walls, which have flat and curved ashlar copes respectively.
