Description
East Lodge at Mavisbank House is an earlier 19th-century building that has undergone later alterations and additions. This single-storey, asymmetrical, three-bay lodge is designed in a Greek style and serves as the entrance to Mavisbank House. The original square plan has been extended to the southwest, northeast, and northwest, with additional conservatory features on the outer left. The lodge is constructed from droved grey ashlar sandstone, with polished grey ashlar sandstone used for the later additions. It features a base course, painted margins, raised cills, deeply overhanging eaves, and strip quoins at the angles of the original block.
On the southeast entrance elevation, there is a tripartite window in the central bay. To the left, an advanced later wing extends under the eaves and includes a modern door with a small flanking window. To the right, another advanced later wing also extends under the eaves and features a central tripartite window.
The northwest rear elevation is irregular and consists of five bays, with a modern conservatory bay on the outer right. The central area has an advanced rectangular-plan, flat-roofed sun-room bay with modern glazed doors on each return and a tripartite window on the right return (southwest side of the original block). There is a window in the bay to the left of center, a three-light canted bay on the outer left, and a window in each bay of the set-back, two-bay addition to the right. The tripartite windows have stone mullions, while the later windows are 6-pane lying-pane sash and case with modern fixed and top-hopper windows at the rear. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a shallow pyramidal shape, with flat roofs on the additions. A cylindrical clustered central stack is present, along with ashlar copes on the walls of the southwest addition and rear canted bay. The rear features cast-iron rainwater goods, with some uPVC replacements.
The gatepiers consist of compound columns topped with a faceted cornice and an arcaded cap, supporting wrought-iron spear-headed gates. Short boundary walls made of sandstone rubble are capped with ridged ashlar.
