Description
Newlandburn Gate-Lodge is a single-storey and attic cottage ornée built in 1893, featuring a T-shaped plan with later additions at the rear. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone with droved dressings and long and short quoins. Notable architectural details include stop-chamfered reveals, pierced bargeboards, overhanging eaves, and attic windows that break the eaves in gabled dormers.
The southwest elevation is near symmetrical, showcasing a gabled open timber porch with pierced bargeboards and a kingpost detail at the center. It has a round arched doorway with a timber panelled door and a semi-circular fanlight. To the left, there are bipartite windows, while the right features a canted window with a diamond slate roof, above which are bipartite windows. The gableheads on either side display shields reading "DMP" and "1893."
The southeast elevation is made of tooled squared and snecked sandstone with stugged dressings, which are droved at the margins. The northeast elevation consists of snecked sandstone rubble with similar stugged dressings. It has a border glazed window at the center of the first floor, a gabled porch that advances in the left bay with a three-pane window offset to the right, and a lean-to addition on the right featuring a modern top-hung window and a blind window.
The northwest elevation is also made of tooled squared and snecked sandstone with droved margins. It includes a lean-to addition on the left with a timber door and a modern window to the outer left.
The windows are predominantly two-pane timber sash and case with segmental arches. The roof is covered with grey slate and features a two-pane rooflight centered at the rear, a lead ridge, and cast iron rainwater goods. There are two tooled coped gablehead stacks with circular cans.
The interior was not seen in 1997.
