Description
Tor Lodge, located at 1 Eskbank Terrace in Dalkeith, is a villa built in the later 19th century. It is a two-storey building with an attic and features an L-plan frontage. The south elevation is constructed from stugged squared and snecked masonry, while the other elevations are made of squared and snecked rubble. It has a base course and chamfered margins on the south side, with droved angle margins and margin drafts.
The south elevation features a taller octagonal tower at the center, which is interrupted by a gabled bay that is advanced to the right. The tower is three stages high, with a boarded door and a vertically-paned fanlight. There are shouldered windows on two exposed faces at the first floor, a blank shield and garland detail on the third stage, and a small window on the west face. To the right, there is a canted window with a cornice and a half-piend roof at the ground level, and a two-faced canted window at the first floor with a decorative wrought-iron parapet. There is also a blind window in the gablehead. The bay to the left has a bipartite window at the ground level and a window at the first floor.
On the west elevation, there is a window to the left at the first floor and a window in the gablehead. The east elevation has a window to the right at the ground level, and windows to the left and right at the first floor, along with a window in the gablehead. The north elevation features a gabled jamb to the left, a door, and windows at the first and second floors on the west return, with a cast-iron window guard on the first-floor window. There is a stair block in the re-entrant angle and a brick lean-to to the right, which has a curved corner to the south.
The villa has sash and case windows with two and four-pane glazing patterns, and a smaller upper sash on the south side, while the remaining elevations display a variety of small-pane glazing patterns. The gableheads have coped skews, and there are gablehead stacks on the east, west, and north sides. The tower features swept eaves leading to a conical roof, covered with grey slates, and has a moulded eaves gutter.
Inside, the villa has an encaustic tiled vestibule floor, a dog-leg stair, and a room in the tower at the second floor.
